Answer 1

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A: when a coin is thrown and it lands,it either lands head up or tail up..now there is every possibility it lands head

the question said it landed 12 times heads up

and it was thrown 20 times

12÷20

=for every 5 throws there is probability of getting 3 heads up

B: 12÷20

6÷10

=3÷5

=0.6
