Mathematics · Probability
A middle school teacher asks students to toss a fair coin 10 times and record their observations as: Number of times head comesNumber of times the coin is tossed and Number of times tails comesNumber of times the coin is tossed She then asks the students to toss the coin 20 times and record their observations in the same way. She continues to increase the number of tosses and asks the students to record their observations. The primary purpose of this activity is to:
- 1Help students arrive at the fact that as the number of tosses gets larger, the empirical probability of getting a head or tail gets closer to 0.5.✓
- 2Help students identify situations in which probability is greater than 1.
- 3Complete the experiment prescribed in the textbook and maintain practical files in the mathematics laboratory.
- 4Introduce the basic concept of fractions.
Correct answer
Help students arrive at the fact that as the number of tosses gets larger, the empirical probability of getting a head or tail gets closer to 0.5.
