Landry · Answer 1

The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.

The theoretical probability of rolling an odd and flipping a coin is 1/4.

1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

Looking at the results, there are 4 occasions where an odd numbers was flipped then tails.

That is 4 out of 12 or 1/3 which is more than 1/4 for the theoretical.
