Question

Aaron indicated that after tossing a penny 30 times, the relative frequency of heads was 0.47 (to the nearest hundredth). What would you predict the relative frequency would be after 60 coin tosses? Explain your answer. *

Answer 1

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

Given Data:

No of toss = 30

Relative frequency of heads = 0.47

What would be the relative frequency after 60 toss.

Therefore,

Since a penny has two sides, which are the head and tail.

No of head in 60 trials = 30

No of tail in 60 trials = 30

Relative frequency after 60 trials

= 30 / 60

= 1 / 3

= 0.5
