Question

Hector tosses a coin 80 times and gets 46 heads and 34 tails. What is the relative frequency of tails? 0 34% O 42.5% O 50% O 57.5%

Answer 1

Explanation:

The relative frequency of an outcome is the number of times you get this outcome divided by the number of times the experiment was repeated:

$\frac{\#\text{tails}}{\#\text{times Hector tosses the coin}}=\frac{34}{80}=0.425$

To find it as a percentage we just have to multiply by 100:

$0.425\times100=42.5\text{ \%}$

Answer:

42.5%
