It is given that Number of trials = 500 Number of heads = 285 Number of tails = 215 (i) Consider E as the event of getting a head So we get P (E) = number of heads coming up/ total number of trials By substituting the values P (E) = 285/500 We get P (E) = 0.57 (ii) Consider F as the event of getting a tail So we get P (F) = number of tails coming up/ total number of trials By substituting the values P (F) = 215/500 We get P (F) = 0.43
