The key word(s) to figure this problem out was "Theoretical Probability." Just so ya know...

hurry my session is about to end in 10 mins

anonymous · Answer

what do you mean @Euler271

anonymous · Answer

wrong post, sorry

anonymous · Answer

The correct answer is D!! 
you would take 513 times 100% then divide by the number of times the coin was flipped 1000 so 51.3%

anonymous · Answer

are you right @warrior2015

anonymous · Answer

I did it like 4 times I am pretty positive?

anonymous · Answer

answer is A. key word is THEORETICAL. not experimental

mindblast3r · Answer

yeah it's Euler is right. Theoretical probability means, when you know all the outcomes. 1/2 chance of getting either one 50%.

mindblast3r · Answer

Experimental probability is where you don't know what the outcomes are.

mindblast3r · Answer

I think it's a trick question though.
