In an experiment, Mary will flip a coin 9 times. Will the relative frequency of her coin landing on heads be equal to the probability the coin will land on heads? How do you know?

yes because, it’s a 50-50 either way so it will be the same, unless your counting the fact whatever side faces up when you flip it is a tiny bit more likely (I’ve tried it before and it’s true! Whatever side is facing upwards is more likely!) that doesn’t count in math terms though.
