Question

type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Melanie goes to a shelter to buy a dog. She has settled on two dogs, an Alsatian and a bulldog. To decide between them, she plans to flip a coin. Before she does, she flips the coin 50 times to check for fairness of the model. Her results are shown in the table. Coin Toss Result Times Result Occurred heads 24 tails 26 The relative frequency of landing on heads is . The relative frequency of landing on tails is .

Answer 1

The relative frequency is the number of time is landed on heads or tails / total flips

Relative frequency of landing in heads = 24/50 = 0.48

Relative frequency of landing on tails = 26/50 = 0.52

Answer 2

Relative frequency (or experimental probability) is calculated by dividing the recorded number of times an event happens by the total number of trials in the actual experiment.

`\sf relative \ frequency=(number \ of \ times \ event \ happened)/(total \ number \ of \ trials \ in \ actual \ experiment)`

`\sf \implies relative \ frequency \ (heads)=(24)/(50)=(12)/(25)=0.48`

`\sf \implies relative \ frequency \ (tails)=(26)/(50)=(13)/(25)=0.52`
