Question

Liz flips a coin 60 times. The coin lands heads up 36 times and tails up 24 times. Complete each statement.

Answer 1

Answer: 58.33%

Explanation:

So, Liz flipped the coin a total of 60 times

Let this be the denominator.

Probability of coin landing up: 35/60

Probability of coin landing down: 24/60

We need the probability of the coin landing up.

So, convert 35/60 into a percentage

To find percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 1003560 × 100100= (35 × 10060) × 1100 = 58.33/100

So, the probability is 58.33%
