Toss a coin 20 times and record the result each time (heads or tails).
How many times did you get heads?
12 (Sample answer)
How many times did you get tails?
8 (Sample answer)
Calculate the experimental probability of getting heads.
3/5 or 0.6
If you toss the coin once more, what is the probability of getting tails?
1/2
Explanation
This is an activity-based question, so the answers for (i) and (ii) will vary based on the actual experiment. Assuming a sample outcome of 12 heads and 8 tails out of 20 tosses, we calculate the experimental probability for (iii). For part (iv), the context highlights the Gambler's Fallacy, emphasizing that a coin has no memory of past flips, so the probability of getting tails on the next toss remains exactly the same as before, which is 1/2.
