Question

A coin lands on heads 300 times. The relative frequency of heads is 0.6. How many times was the coin flipped?

Answer 1

Answer: Number of times the coin is flipped =500

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative frequency of head = $\dfrac{\text{Number of times heads occur}}{\text{Total number of times coin is flipped}}$

Let x= Number of times the coin is flipped, then

$0.6=\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{300}{0.6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{3000}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=500$

Hence, Number of times the coin is flipped =500
