Question

A coin was tossed 100,000 times in an automatic coin tossing machine. Heads were obtained 70,000 times and tails 30,000 times. If the relative frequency approach to probability is employed, it is reasonable to conclude in this coin tossing experiment that (select the best choice) a. The probability of a tail is.50 b. The probability of a head is.70 c. The concept of probability does not apply because of the large number of tosses d. The concept of probability does not apply because the probability of each possible outcome can be determined in advance e. No valid results can be obtained as the coin apparently was not "fair"

Explanation / Answer

In case of relative frequency approach,

P(Heads) = 70000/100000 = 0.70

Hence,

Option B is correct.
