Roderick Newman · Answer 1

the experimental probability is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because one to calculate the experimental probability one has to divide the favorable events over the possible events, and those that Talia did were the favorable events divided the non-favorable events

20 heads and 80 tails

Faborable events = 20

Possible events = 20 + 80 = 100

20/100 = 1/5
