Question

A fair coin is tossed 100 times and the head occurs 58 times and tail 42 times. The experimental probability of getting a head is :

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{21}{50}$
• C. $\frac{29}{50}$
• D. $\frac{42}{58}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{29}{50}$

A fair coin is tossed 100 times and the head occurs $58$ times and tail $42$ times.

The experimental probability of getting a head is :

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{\text{Number of head}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{58}{100}=\frac{29}{50}$
