A coin landed heads \(23~\text{times}\) in \(40~\text{flips}\). Calculate the experimental probability and interpret the observed result.

experimental probability = 23/40 = 57.5%; observed result = 23 of 40 flips were heads

experimental probability = 23/40 = 57.5%; observed result = every future set has exactly 23 heads

experimental probability = 23; observed result = probability equals the number of heads

experimental probability = 1/2 = 50%; observed result = theory replaces the experiment
