Answer:

The answer is (A) 8.1%.

Explanation:

The probability of flipping a coin and getting heads is 1/2 or 0.5. Assuming the coin is fair, the probability of getting heads 4 times in 11 flips is given by the binomial probability formula:

P(4 heads in 11 flips) = (11 choose 4) * (0.5)^4 * (0.5)^(11-4) = 330 * 0.5^11

Using a calculator, we get:

P(4 heads in 11 flips) ≈ 8.1%

Therefore, the answer is (A) 8.1%.
