A coin is tossed 1000 times with the following frequencies
Head : 455, Tail : 545.
Compute the probability for each event.

Given:

A coin is tossed 1000 times with the following frequencies

Head: 455, Tail: 545.

To do:

We have to find the probability for each event.

Solution:

Total number of events $(m)=1000$

Number of events in which head comes$(n)=455$

We know that,

Probability of an event=$ \frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ outcomes}$

Therefore,

Probability of getting heads $=\frac{455}{1000}$

$=0.455$.

Probability of getting tails $=\frac{545}{1000}$

$=0.545$.
