Question

A coin is tossed 50 times and lands with heads facing up 48% of the time.

Which is most likely to happen in 1000 tosses of the coin?

A.
The percent of heads facing up will be exactly 48%.

B.
The percent of heads facing up will be exactly 50%.

C.
The percent of heads facing up will approach 48%.

D.
The percent of heads facing up will approach 50%.

Answer 1

Hi will you be willing to help if you can.

Answer 2

A coin can land as a tail or as a head.
So there is a 50 50 chance of both, this means that, the probability of getting a head = 50% = 1/2 and also the probability of getting a tail 50% = 1/2

The universe is designed like that, with uncertainty..

In 50 tosses of the coin, the prob. of a head is 48% [which should not be the case]
So in more tosses of the coin it'll tend to become 50% because that is the chance of getting ahead over a head.

So in 1000 tosses of the coin the probability should approach 50%.

Understood? :)
