The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the probabilities of getting 2 heads, 1 head, and 0 heads when two coins are tossed simultaneously. We have the following data from the experiment: - Total tosses = 400 - Number of times 2 heads occurred = 180 - Number of times 1 head occurred = 148 - Number of times 0 heads occurred = 72 Now, let's calculate the probabilities step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the probability of getting 2 heads The probability \( P(2 \text{ heads}) \) is given by the formula: \[ P(2 \text{ heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of times 2 heads occurred}}{\text{Total tosses}} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(2 \text{ heads}) = \frac{180}{400} \] Now, simplify the fraction: \[ P(2 \text{ heads}) = \frac{180 \div 20}{400 \div 20} = \frac{9}{20} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the probability of getting 1 head The probability \( P(1 \text{ head}) \) is given by: \[ P(1 \text{ head}) = \frac{\text{Number of times 1 head occurred}}{\text{Total tosses}} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(1 \text{ head}) = \frac{148}{400} \] Now, simplify the fraction: \[ P(1 \text{ head}) = \frac{148 \div 4}{400 \div 4} = \frac{37}{100} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the probability of getting 0 heads The probability \( P(0 \text{ heads}) \) is given by: \[ P(0 \text{ heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of times 0 heads occurred}}{\text{Total tosses}} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(0 \text{ heads}) = \frac{72}{400} \] Now, simplify the fraction: \[ P(0 \text{ heads}) = \frac{72 \div 8}{400 \div 8} = \frac{9}{50} \] ### Final Results Now we can summarize the probabilities: 1. Probability of getting 2 heads: \( P(2 \text{ heads}) = \frac{9}{20} \) 2. Probability of getting 1 head: \( P(1 \text{ head}) = \frac{37}{100} \) 3. Probability of getting 0 heads: \( P(0 \text{ heads}) = \frac{9}{50} \)

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the probabilities of getting 2 heads, 1 head, and 0 heads when two coins are tossed simultaneously. We have the following data from the experiment: - Total tosses = 400 - Number of times 2 heads occurred = 180 - Number of times 1 head occurred = 148 - Number of times 0 heads occurred = 72 Now, let's calculate the probabilities step by step. ...
