Q. Four students each flipped a coin 50 times and recorded the results in the table.\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}\hline Student & Heads & Tails \\\hline Mai Ka & 31 & 19 \\\hline Heather & 15 & 35 \\\hline Jose & 21 & 29 \\\hline Tyrone & 20 & 30 \\\hline\end{tabular}Who had a relative frequency of 53 of flipping tails?
Calculate Mai Ka's fraction: To find the relative frequency of flipping tails, we need to divide the number of tails by the total number of flips for each student.
Calculate Heather's fraction: For Mai Ka, the calculation is 19 tails out of 50 flips, so 5019.
Calculate Jose's fraction: For Heather, it's 35 tails out of 50 flips, so 5035.
Calculate Tyrone's fraction: For Jose, it's 29 tails out of 50 flips, so 5029.
Simplify fractions: For Tyrone, it's 30 tails out of 50 flips, so 5030.
Check Mai Ka's fraction: Now we simplify the fractions to see if any match 53.
Check Heather's fraction: Mai Ka's fraction 5019 doesn't simplify to 53.
Check Jose's fraction: Heather's fraction 5035 simplifies to 107, which is not 53.
Check Tyrone's fraction: Jose's fraction 5029 doesn't simplify to 53.
Identify Tyrone's relative frequency: Tyrone's fraction 5030 simplifies to 53. So Tyrone had a relative frequency of 53 of flipping tails.
