Suppose a coin is tossed 100 times 57 heads and 43 tails what is the probability the next one will be heads.
To determine the probability of the next coin toss resulting in heads, we need to examine the data given.
We are told that a coin was tossed 100 times and yielded 57 heads and 43 tails. Since the coin tosses are independent events and the coin is fair, we can make the assumption that the probability of getting heads on any given coin toss is consistent.
To find the probability of getting heads on the next coin toss, we can use the proportion of heads from the 100 tosses.
The proportion of heads is calculated by dividing the number of heads by the total number of coin tosses:
Proportion of heads = number of heads / total number of tosses = 57/100 = 0.57
Therefore, the probability of getting heads on the next coin toss, assuming the coin remains fair, is 0.57 or 57%.
