While flipping a weighted coin, Latrell gets 4 heads and 2 tails. Based on experimental probability, how many of the next 3 flips should Latrell expect to come up heads?

 2 heads

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the experimental probability as a fraction in simplest form.

P(heads)

=

heads

total

=

heads

heads+tails

=

4

4+2

The experimental probability is

.

We can predict the outcome of the second set of trials by assuming that the ratio will be the same as in the first set of trials. Write a proportion by setting the two ratios equal to each other, then solve.

=nDivide both sides by 3

Based on experimental probability, Latrell should expect 2 of the next 3 flips to come up heads.
