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).

A bag contains 4 green tokens, 2 red tokens, and 4 purple tokens. Lisa drew a token out of the bag, recorded the result, and then put the token back into the bag. She did this 30 times and recorded the results in a bar graph. Use this information to answer the following questions.What was the experimental probability of drawing a red token? Simplify.

You and a friend plan on going on 2 more rides at the amusement park before going home. You can choose from Amazing Falls, Tiger Canyon, Avalanche, Glacier Mountain, Indy Five, and the Bat. Your friend decides to write the names of the rides two times each on pieces of paper and place them in a hat. You each randomly select a ride without replacing your choice in the hat.What is the probability that you both select Indy Five?
