Answer:
The empirical probability of getting tails on this coin is .509
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given that
A coin is flipped 1,000 times.
hence, Total numbers of times coin flipped = 1,000
Coin lands on heads 491 times and tails 509 times.
We have to find the empirical probability of getting tails on this coin.
Hence, number of times getting tails = 509
The formula to find empirical probability is:
empirical probability = number of times an event occurs / total number of times experiment performed
Putting values in above formula , we have
The empirical probability of getting tails on this coin = 509 / 1000
The empirical probability of getting tails on this coin = .509
