Mathematics - Probability - Introduction - Experimental vs theoretical probability - Flip 10 Coins
A big 'FLIP' button simulates flipping a coin. Show a running tally of Heads vs Tails. After 10 flips, ask: 'Did you get exactly 5 heads?' (probably not). Display the experimental probability (e.g., 6/10 = 0.6). Show that theoretical probability is 0.5 but actual experiments rarely give exactly 0.5.
