Question

Imagine flipping a fair coin many times. Explain what should happen to the proportion of heads as the number of coin flips increases. Which of the following is the best explanation to what should happen to the proportion of heads as the number of coin flips​ increases?

Answer 1

Answer:

The proportion should get closer to 0.5 as the number of flips increases.

Explanation:

When we flip a coin in the air, the probable chances of getting a head or a tail is almost a fifty - fifty chance. It is probable to get fifty percent chance for obtaining a head or a tail.

Even if we increase the number of flipping of the coin in the air, the proportion of head to achieve will still be close to fifty percent in the sample space. The variance would not be more. It will be close to 0.5, say 0.49 or 0.51. But will always closer to 0.5 as the number of flip increases.
