Question

A colored chip is yellow on one side and red on the other. The chip was flipped 50 times and landed red side facing up 21 times. What is the relative frequency of the chip landing with the red side facing up?

A) 42%
B) 58%
C) 68%
D) 72%

Answer 1

42%

Explanation:

We know that the number of times red side is faced up = 21; and

the total number of times colored chip is thrown = 50

Frequency of red side = (No of times red side is faced up / Total number of times colored chip is thrown) * 100%

Frequency of red side = (21 / 50) * 100% = 0.42 * 100 = 42%

Therefore, the relative frequency of the chip landing with the red side facing up is 42%.
