Multiple choice

Two coins are tossed simultaneously for 600 times and the outcomes are as follows : Two heads : $200$ One head : $160$ No head : $240$ The probability of getting one head is:

  1. $\dfrac{4}{15}$
  2. $\dfrac{1}{3}$
  3. $\dfrac{2}{5}$
  4. $\dfrac{1}{5}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Total tosses = 600. The number of times one head occurred is 160. The probability is 160 / 600. Simplifying the fraction: 16/60 = 4/15.

AI explanation

Using the empirical probability formula, we divide the number of times one head occurred by the total number of trials. The calculation is 160 divided by 600. This simplifies to a probability of 4/15.
