Question

A coin lands on heads 300 times. The relative frequency of heads is 0.6. How many times was the coin flipped?

Answer 1

Answer: Number of times the coin is flipped =500

Explanation:

Relative frequency of head =
`\frac{\text{Number of times heads occur}}{\text{Total number of times coin is flipped}}`

Let x= Number of times the coin is flipped, then

`0.6=(300)/(x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(300)/(0.6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(3000)/(6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=500`

Hence, Number of times the coin is flipped =500
