Practice Questions for Probability Problems
In an experiment, a coin is flipped 50 times and lands heads 32 times. What is the relative frequency of heads?
A student flips a coin 10 times and gets 7 heads. They say the probability of heads is 7/10. Explain why carrying out more trials would give a better estimate of the probability.
