    Answer: 1/4

    Explanation:

    You flipped the coin 4 times and got only one tail in those four flips. So that's where the 1/4 comes from when you state the experimental probability of tails is 1/4.

    The theoretical probability of tails is 1/2 assuming it's a fair coin, as each side is likely to land on. The theoretical probability is one that can be calculated without having to do the experimental trials.

    Subtract the two fractions: 1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = (2-1) / 4 = 1/4
