Question

a coin lands on heads 200 times. the relative frequency of heads is 0.4. how many times was the coin thrown?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of times coin thrown was 500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A coin lands on heads 200 times. the relative frequency of heads is 0.4.

Now, to find the times coin was thrown.

Let the number of times coin thrown was be $x.$

Relative frequency = 0.4.

Number of lands on heads = 200.

So, to get the number of times coin was thrown we put formula:

$Relative\ frequency=\frac{Number\ of\ lands\ on\ heads}{Number\ of\ times\ coin\ thrown}$

$0.4=\frac{200}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$0.4x=200$

Dividing both sides by 0.4 we get:

$x=500.$

Therefore, the number of times coin thrown was 500.

Answer 2

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

200÷0.4=500

Therefore, the coin was thrown 500 times.
