When we flip a coin we can expect the probability of it landing heads is the same as it landing tails. However, we are more likely to achieve this outcome the more often we flip the coin. That is, over a large number of trials we are more likely to approximate our probability. This is referred to as: a. the law of future frequency b. the law of expected frequency c. projected probability d. the law of large number

Question

When we flip a coin we can expect the probability of it landing heads is the same as it landing tails. However, we are more likely to achieve this outcome the more often we flip the coin. That is, over a large number of trials we are more likely to approximate our probability. This is referred to as:

a. the law of future frequency

b. the law of expected frequency

c. projected probability

d. the law of large numbers

Expert Solution
Step 1

The objective is to identify the appropriate option, that infers the likelihood of obtaining a head or tail in affair coin is indifferent. For a fair coin, P(Head)=P(Tail)=12.
