8) A coin is tossed 20 times, and it lands on heads 14 times. How does the experimental probability compare to the theoretical probability?

Experimental probability (7/10) is slightly greater than the theoretical probability (1/2).

Experimental probability (7/10) is slightly less than the theoretical probability (1/2).

Experimental probability (1/2) is slightly greater than the theoretical probability (7/10).

Experimental probability (1/2) is slightly less than the theoretical probability (7/10).

Experimental Probability is the prbability based on the experiment performed. Theoretical Probability is the probability based on the mathmatical possibility.

Explanation

Experimental Probability is the prbability based on the experiment performed. Theoretical Probability is the probability based on the mathmatical possibility.
