Answer:

The relative frequency of landing on tails is 0.3.

Explanation:

The relative frequency of an outcome A is:

The number of trials in which the outcome A happened divided by the total number of trials.

In this problem, we have that:

20 coin tosses, so 20 trials. On 6, it landed on tails.

6/20 = 0.3

This means that the relative frequency of landing on tails is 0.3.
