Question

Suppose you toss a coin 100 times and get 71 heads and 29 tails. Based on these​ results, what is the probability that the next flip results in a head​?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

When a coin is tossed 100 times, it yields heads 71 times and tails 29 times.

So the probability of heads = Number of heads/Total number of tosses

= $\[\frac{71}{100}\]$

= $\[0.71\]$

Similarly, probability of tails = Number of tails/Total number of tosses

= $\[\frac{29}{100}\]$

= $\[0.29\]$

So the probability that the next flip results in a head = Probability of heads in the toss = 0.71
