Answer:

Theoretical Probability = 50%

Experimental Probability = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical Probability:

Since there are only two sides to a coin, heads or tails the equation to find the  theoretical probability would look like...

1/2 = .5 x 100 = 50%

Experimental Probability:

For this we need to find the total number of outcomes that were heads and the total number of tries.

16 + 24 = 40 <---- number of tries

16  <---- number of outcomes that were heads

With this information, your equation would look like this...

16/40 = .4 x 100 = 40%

Hope this helps!!!
