Answer:

The experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the results of flipping two coins with their outcomes and number of times they were tossed.

We are to compare the experimental and theoretical probability of getting HH.

The theoretical Outcomes are: HH HT TH TT

So theoretical probability of getting HH = $\frac{1}{4} \times 100$ = 25%

Total number of outcomes = $28+22+34+16$ = 100

So experimental probability of getting HH = $\frac{28}{100} \times 100$ = 28%

Therefore, the experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability.

Answer:

a) $P(X=2)=(10C2)(0.32)^2 (1-0.32)^{10-2}=0.211$

b) $P(X> 2)=1-P(X\leq 2)=1-[0.0211+0.0995+0.211]=0.668$

c) $P(2 \leq x \leq 5)=0.211+0.264+0.218+0.123=0.816$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

2) Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.32)$
