I am tossing a fair coin. In the last 10 tosses, there were 7 heads and 3 tails. What is the probability of getting tails on my next toss? Give your answer as a reduced common fraction.

I need a thorough explanation on this and if you could tell me the specific type of probability this is so I can look it up for further understanding that would awesome.

3/10 
The denominator is how many times you threw it in all
The numerator is how many times it landed on that result
3/10 as a percentage is 30%

The answer is 30% ( Experimental )

Another way is how there are only two options you can get and you can only get so you get 1/2
1/2 as a percentage is 50%(theoretical)

Hope this helps! Brainliest?
The EXPERIMENTAL probability would by 3/10 because out of the 10 times you tossed it, you got tails 3 times.

The THEORETICAL probability would be 1/2 because there are only 2 results you could get: heads or tails. 

Hope this helps :)
