Mr. Clark claims that he has a coin that is weighted so that the probability of heads is 40%. To test this, his students flip the coin 200 times and calculate the relative frequency of heads and tails.Outcome Heads TailsRelative frequency 0.38 0.62Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement.The relative frequency of heads is40%.Mr. Clark's claim about the theoretical probability is likely to be.This means that the theoretical probability of tails is most likelyfor this coin.

A:
While I'm unsure what the word choices were, his claim is likely to be true.
Since he claims the probability of heads is 40%, that should be what we see in an experiment. 0.38 is very close to 0.40, or 40%, so this is true. Therefore his claim is likely to be true, and the probability of tails should be about 60%.
