Each of three friends flips a coin 82 times. The results for each friend are shown in the tables. Find the relative frequency for the event "heads" for each friend. If the friends combine their results to get 121 heads and 125 tails, what is the relative frequency for the event "heads"? Use pencil and paper. Suppose each friend flips a coin 820 times. Is there a value you would expect the relative frequency for the event "heads" to be close to?

Part 3: Friend 3: 34/82 = 0.414634... → 0.41 (to the nearest hundredth).
Combined: 121 heads out of 121+125 = 246 flips → 121/246 = 0.49187... → 0.49 (to the nearest hundredth).
If each friend flips 820 times (many trials), the relative frequency for heads should be close to 0.5 (by the law of large numbers).
