When you flip a fair coin, there is always a 50% chance of heads, and a 50% chance of tails. Not sure the rest of info is relevant here
Simulated coin tossing uses random numbers, where 0-4 and 5-9 represent heads and tails respectively. The theoretical probability of getting tails is 0.5, but empirical probabilities can differ. This discrepancy, assumed to reduce with more trials, is accounted for by the Law of Large Numbers.
In the context of the provided problem, you are attempting to simulate tossing a coin 20 times using a system of random numbers, where you've assigned 0-4 to represent heads and 5-9 to represent tails. Theoretically, in a fair coin toss, there's a 50% chance (0.5 probability) of getting either heads or tails.
However, experimental or empirical probability may not always align with this theoretical likelihood, especially in smaller samples. This discrepancy is due to randomness and doesn't necessarily imply the coin or system is biased. Over many trials, the relative frequency of getting tails should approach the theoretical probability, according to the law of large numbers.
To calculate the empirical probability of getting tails in your simulation, you would tally up the total number of 'tails' results (numbers 5-9) from your 20 trials, then divide that count by the total number of trials (20). So, if you get 12 'tails' results, your empirical probability would be 12/20 = 0.6.

Answer: $16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Marie has renters insurance that she must pay twice a year.
The amount of each payment = $96
So, the total payment in the year =
Since, in one year = 12 months
Therefore, the amount of money she should set aside each month to cover her renters insurance=
Hence, She should set aside $16 each month to cover her renters insurance.
