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. 0.5
b. 0.48
c. 0.52
d. 0.46

Explanation:

Step1: Recall empirical probability formula

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

Step2: Identify values

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

Step3: Calculate probability

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

Answer:

B. \(0.48\)
