The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the probabilities for both parts of the question. ### Given Data: - Total tosses (N) = 200 - Frequencies of outcomes: - 3 heads: 23 - 2 heads: 72 - 1 head: 77 - No head: 28 ### Part (i): Probability of getting at most two heads 1. **Identify the outcomes for at most two heads**: - At most two heads means we can have either 0 heads, 1 head, or 2 heads. - The frequencies for these outcomes are: - No head (0 heads): 28 - 1 head: 77 - 2 heads: 72 2. **Calculate the total favorable outcomes for at most two heads**: \[ \text{Favorable outcomes} = \text{Frequency of 0 heads} + \text{Frequency of 1 head} + \text{Frequency of 2 heads} \] \[ = 28 + 77 + 72 = 177 \] 3. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{at most 2 heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{177}{200} \] ### Part (ii): Probability of getting at least two heads 1. **Identify the outcomes for at least two heads**: - At least two heads means we can have either 2 heads or 3 heads. - The frequencies for these outcomes are: - 2 heads: 72 - 3 heads: 23 2. **Calculate the total favorable outcomes for at least two heads**: \[ \text{Favorable outcomes} = \text{Frequency of 2 heads} + \text{Frequency of 3 heads} \] \[ = 72 + 23 = 95 \] 3. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(\text{at least 2 heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{95}{200} \] \[ = \frac{19}{40} \quad \text{(after simplifying)} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) The probability of getting at most two heads is \(\frac{177}{200}\). - (ii) The probability of getting at least two heads is \(\frac{19}{40}\).
