Answer :

the experimental probability of Tapi flipping heads is 4/5

Explanation

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes possible

[tex]P=\frac{favorable\text{ outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}[/tex]

Step 1

find the probability of getting a Tail

let

favorable outcomes=2 ( flip number 4 and 5)

total outcomes= 10( from flip 1 to flip 10)

now, replace.

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{favorable\text{ outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} \\ P=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \\ P=\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

find the probability of getting a head

let

favorable outcomes=8

total outcomes= 10( from flip 1 to flip 10)

replace.

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{favorable\text{ outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} \\ P=\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5} \\ P=\frac{4}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore, the answer is

the experimental probability of Tapi flipping heads is 4/5

I hope this helps you
