1. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

2. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
36/100 = 0.36

3. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

4. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?
25/100 = 0.25

5. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing
1/2 = 0.5

6. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?
39/100 = 0.39

7. Compare the theoretical probabilities to your experimental probabilities. Why might there be a difference?

The experimental probabilities do not always match the theoretical probability because of chance. But the more coin flips we do, we expect the experimental probability to get closer to the theoretical probability.
