in an experiment a coin is tossed 500 times. if the head turns up 280 times, find the probability of getting a) a head, b) a tail
Given-: A coin is tossed 500 times.
1) Occurrence of head is 280
2) Occurrence of tails is 500-280= 220
Probability-: a) of getting a head: 280/500 = 28/50 = 14/25 = 0.56 b) of getting a tail : 220/500 = 22/50 = 11/25 = 0.44
Probability-: a) of getting a head: 280/500 = 28/50 = 14/25 = 0.56 b) of getting a tail : 220/500 = 22/50 = 11/25 = 0.44
