Acoin is flipped 1,000 times. it lands on heads 491 times and tails 509 times. what is the empirical probability of getting tails on this coin?

0.509 so basically %50

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical probability of getting tails on this coin is .509

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that

A coin is flipped 1,000 times.

hence, Total numbers of times coin flipped = 1,000

Coin lands on heads 491 times and tails 509 times.

We have to find the empirical probability of getting tails on this coin.

Hence, number of times getting tails = 509

The formula to find empirical probability is:

empirical probability =  number of times an event occurs / total number of times experiment performed

Putting values in above formula , we have

The empirical probability of getting tails on this coin = 509 / 1000

The empirical probability of getting tails on this coin = .509

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
