Multiple choice

A fair coin is tossed 100 times and the head occurs 58 times and tail 42 times. The experimental probability of getting a head is :

  1. $\dfrac{1}{2}$
  2. $\dfrac{21}{50}$
  3. $\dfrac{29}{50}$
  4. $\dfrac{42}{58}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Experimental probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of trials). Head = 58, Total = 100. Probability = 58/100 = 29/50.

AI explanation

Using the empirical probability formula, we divide the number of times a head occurred by the total number of tosses. The calculation is 58 divided by 100. This simplifies to a probability of 29/50.
