Question

Diane flipped a coin 600 times and it landed heads up 240 times what is the relative frequency of the coin landing heads up based on the results of this expirement

Answer 1

The relative frequency is 240/600, or 0.4, or 40%. The relative frequency is how many times it landed heads up in relation to the total number of times flipped.

Answer 2

The relative frequency of the coin landing heads up is 0.4 or 40%.

Explanation:

We are given that,

Total number of times coin is tossed = 600

Number of times heads comes = 240

Since, 'relative frequency' is the fraction of number of times an event occurs and the total number of events.

Thus, the relative frequency that heads comes =
`(240)/(600)`

i.e. Relative frequency that heads comes = 0.4 or 40%

Thus, the relative frequency of the coin landing heads up is 0.4 or 40%.
