B Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of trials. Since there are 100 tosses and 54 are heads, there are 100 - 54 = 46 tails. The probability of a tail is 46/100 = 0.46.

AI explanation

The coin was tossed 100 times, and since heads appeared 54 times, the number of tails is 100 minus 54, which equals 46. The empirical probability of getting a tail is the frequency of tails divided by the total number of trials. Thus, the probability is 46 divided by 100, which is 0.46.
