a) The sample space for flipping a coin is {heads, tails}.

b) The theoretical probability of getting heads is 0.5 or 50%, while the theoretical probability of getting tails is also 0.5 or 50%.

c) Predicting the relative frequency for each outcome using theoretical probabilities, we can expect to get heads approximately 10 times (50% of 20) and tails approximately 10 times (50% of 20) in 20 trials of flipping a coin. However, this is only a prediction and the actual outcome may vary.

The theoretical probability of flipping a coin is a fraction because it is the ratio of the number of desired outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. In the case of flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails), and the fraction theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2 or 0.5, and the fraction theoretical probability of getting tails is also 1/2 or 0.5.

For Task 2a:

The relative frequency for getting Heads is 8/20 = 0.4 or 40%.
The relative frequency for getting Tails is 12/20 = 0.6 or 60%.

For Task 2b:

The relative frequency for getting Heads is 13/20 = 0.65 or 65%.
The relative frequency for getting Tails is 7/20 = 0.35 or 35%.

Note: The relative frequency is calculated by dividing the frequency of a specific outcome by the total number of trials (in this case, 20).
