Chapter 12.7, Problem 17HP
To determine

To state if it is possible for an experimental probability to be 0 if the theoretical probability is 1 .

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 17HP

The theoretical probability of getting a heads or tails while tossing a coin is 1 , because it will always show some result, either heads or tails.

So, the experimental probability is higher than 0 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given statement is:

“Find a counterexample to the following statement.

It is possible for an experimental probability to be 0 if the theoretical probability is 1 .”

The theoretical probability of getting a heads or tails while tossing a coin is 1 , because it will always show some result, either heads or tails.

So, the experimental probability is higher than 0 .
