A person was trying to figure out the probability of getting two heads when flipping two coins. He flipped two coins 20 times, and in 7 of these 20 times, both coins landed heads. On the basis of this outcome, he claims that the probability of two heads is 7/20, or 35%. Is this an example of an empirical probability or a theoretical? probability? Explain.
Choose the correct answer below.
A. This is an example of theoretical probability because it is not based on an experiment.
B. This is an example of empirical probability because it is based on the relative frequency at which an event happens after infinitely many repetitions.
C. This is an example of empirical probability because it is based on an experiment.
D. This is an example of theoretical probability because it is based on an experiment.
