Question

A coin is flipped 70 times and lands on tails 42 times. What is the relative frequency of the coin landing on tails?

30%
40%
50%
60%

Answer 1

60%

Explanation:

Because first like the other person said, turn it into a fraction. 42/70 Then, divide 42 by 70, which gives us 0.6. Multiply 0.6 100 times and you can use a calculator. It gives us;

60%

Answer 2

first make it into a fraction. 42/70, 42 times out of 70. Now, divide. this gives you 0.6
To make a decimal into a percent, you need to multiply by 100. So, 0.6 x 100, the answer is D, 60%.
