Abstract
The progress of Science and Technology (Science and Technology) now makes it easy to make an abstract application that is easy to understand, for example probability theory. Probability theory addresses the chance factor. This theory will be more easily understood by conducting experiments. The simulation will provide a digital picture of the experiment and shorten the time of its implementation. This study aims to understand the concept of probability by simulating a maximum of 4 coin tosses and seeing the results of its calculations experimentally and analytically. The method used to make a coin toss simulation is to use a parabolic motion trajectory with small angles with variations in speed to traverse its trajectory, simulate the motion of a coin using rotational motion on its axis, and the results of the calculation of the probability of a coin toss are carried out by computer randomly. The results of the calculation analysis and the coin toss experiment show the same results if done at least 20 times the number of possibilities that occur. The greater number of coin tosses will produce the same calculation value both experimentally and analytically.
