suppose you start flipping a fair coin and keeping track of the cumulative proportion of times it lands heads. after which of the following number of flips would you expect the cumulative proportion to be the closest to 1/2?

Respuesta :

After single flip we would expect the cumulative proportion to be the closest to 1/2.

Cumulative proportion is defined as the division of favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.When we flip a coin then the coin has two choices either it will come as tail or it will come as head.Its a fair choice and we don't have any control on the outcome.

So,total number of outcomes are =2 which are Head and Tail.

Favorable outcome is =1 either it will be head or tail.

So,cumulative proportion =number of favorable outcome/Total number of outcome

=>cumulative proportion=1/2=0.5

Here we can see that on single flipping we can get a cumulative proportion close to 0.5.

Hence, single flip of coin is required.
