Question

A colored chip is yellow on one side and red on the other. The chip was flipped 50 times and landed on red side up 22 times. What is the relative frequency of the chip landing with the red side facing up?

A. 36%

B. 44%

C. 52%

D. 56%

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

44% (B.)

Explanation:

number of times flipped = 50 times

number of times red landed face-up = 22 times

∴ frequency of chip landing with red side face up = (number of times red landed face-up) ÷ (number of times flipped) × 100

= (22 ÷ 50) × 100 = 44%
