How do you find the relative frequency of getting heads in 100 coin flips?

To find the relative frequency of getting heads in 100 coin flips, divide the number of heads by 100.

Relative frequency is a way to show how often something happens compared to the total number of trials. In this case, you are flipping a coin 100 times and want to know how often it lands on heads. First, you need to perform the 100 coin flips and count how many times the coin lands on heads. Let's say you get heads 55 times out of 100 flips.

To calculate the relative frequency, you take the number of heads (55) and divide it by the total number of flips (100). So, the relative frequency of getting heads is 55/100, which simplifies to 0.55. This means that heads came up 55% of the time in your 100 flips.

Relative frequency is useful because it gives you an idea of the likelihood of an event happening based on experimental data. In theory, for a fair coin, you would expect heads to come up 50% of the time, or a relative frequency of 0.50. However, in practice, the relative frequency might be slightly different due to random variation. By performing more trials, your relative frequency should get closer to the theoretical probability.
