A Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of getting heads is based on the frequency of heads observed. Heads = 300, Total = 700. Probability = 300/700 = 3/7.

AI explanation

For a biased coin, the experimental probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of times the event occurred by the total number of trials. Given that heads appeared 300 times out of 700 total tosses, the probability of getting heads is 300 divided by 700. This simplifies to 3/7.
