Question

1. if you flip a coin 100 times and it lands on heads 48 times, what is the empirical probability of getting heads?

a. 0.46
b. 0.52
c. 0.48
d. 0.5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall empirical probability formula

Empirical probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)

Step2: Identify values

Number of favorable outcomes (heads) \(n = 48\), total number of trials \(N=100\)

Step3: Calculate probability

\(P=\frac{48}{100}=0.48\)

Answer:

C. 0.48
