A magician claims that he has a fair coin - "fair" because both sides, heads and tails, are equally likely to land face up when the coin is flipped.

She tells you that if you flip the coin 5times, the probability of getting 5heads is 1/32.

Is this an example of a theoretical probability or an empirical probability? Explain.

• A. This is an example of empirical probability because it is based on the relative frequency at which an event happens after infinitely many repetitions.
• B. This is an example of theoretical probability because it is based on an experiment.
• 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 not based on an experiment.
