Step-by-step explanation:

1. Prasha's result is better as she tossed the coin the most times.

The result which gives a better estimate of obtaining tail is that which provides a greater probability, hence, Stuart's result is better.

Recall :

  • Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Stuart's throw:

  • Number of tails = 7
  • Number of throws = 10

  • P(Tail) = 7/10 = 0.7

Maxine's throw :

  • Number of throws = 50
  • Number of tails = 30

  • P(Tail) = 30 / 50 = 0.6

The result with higher probability gives the better estimate of obtaining tail.

Therefore, Stuart's result will be a better estimate.
