Problem Description: In the given problem, the coin is tossed 12 times and lands heads up 4 times. This is an observed frequency of heads for these 12 trials.
Probability Calculation: The probability of a coin landing heads up is 21, since there are two sides to a coin and one of them is heads.
Law of Large Numbers: If the number of trials increases significantly, the Law of Large Numbers tells us that the observed frequency should get closer to the expected probability of 21, not remain at the observed 31 or move towards 1.
Correct Statement: Therefore, the correct statement is: "The observed frequency of landing heads up gets closer to the expected frequency based on the probability of the coin landing heads up."
