A Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of an event is based on the frequency of occurrence. Given 300 heads out of 700 tosses, the empirical probability is 300/700 = 3/7.

AI explanation

In the previous 700 tosses, heads appeared 300 times. The empirical probability of getting a heads is the number of times heads occurred divided by the total number of trials. Therefore, the probability is 300/700, which simplifies to 3/7.
