Given:

The number of times the coin is tossed is, N = 16.

The number of times head appeared is, n (h) = 4.

The objective is to find the experimental probability of getting a head.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the probability of an head is,


P(h)=(n(h))/(N)

On plugging the given values in the above formula.


\begin{gathered} P(h)=(4)/(16) \\ P(h)=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
