Q4. Three coins are tossed simultaneously 200 times with the following frequencies of different outcomes:
Outcome | 3 heads | 2 heads | 1 head | No head |
Frequency | 23 | 72 | 77 | 28 |
If the three coins are simultaneously tossed again, compute the probability of 2 heads coming up.
From the above question, the data of our interest is:
Total no. of times the coins(i.e. 3 coins simultaneously) are tossed =200
No. of times the result comes out with 2 heads=72
The empirical (or experimental) probability P(E) of this event is given by :
P(2 heads coming up) =
=72/200
= 9/25
Ans: 9/25
