Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 - 1/4
2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 1/4.
Given that
A fair coin is tossed in the air four times if the experimental probability of landing on tails is 1/4.
We have to determine
What is the difference between the experimental and theoretical probability?
According to the question
The experimental probability is 1/4 because of the four times the coin was flipped, it only landed on tails once, and on heads the other three times.
The theoretical probability, however, is 1/2 because there are two possible outcomes that are equally likely.
The theoretical probability is one that can be calculated without having to do the experimental trials following all the steps given below.
Then,
The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is,
[tex]= \dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\= \dfrac{2-1}{4}\\\\= \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
Hence, the difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 1/4.
