Relative frequency is the number of successes out of the total number of trials.
In this case, 42 successes out of 70 means 60%.

The relative frequency of the coin landing on tails is 60% when a coin is flipped 70 times and lands on tails 42 times. option D is correct.

Relative frequency for a repeated event:

  • Relative frequency is an estimate of the probability that is calculated from repeated trials of an event.
  • It is given by the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of events occurring.
  • Relative frequency = f/n
  • f-number of times an occurs and n-total number of events

Calculating the relative frequency:

Given that,

A coin is tossed 70 times and lands on tails 42 times.

So, f=70 and n=42

Thus, the relative frequency = \(\frac{42}{70}\) = 0.6

Therefore, relative frequency 60% of the coin lands on tails If a coin is tossed 70 times and lands on tails 42 times.
