Relative frequency
Frequency/Total number of terms
We have,
Individual frequency = Relative frequency × Total number of terms
Now we can say,
Number of students getting 0 heads out of 3 = 0.15 × 200 = 30
Number of students getting 1 head out of 3 = 0.35 × 200 = 70
Number of students getting 2heads out of 3 = 0.30 × 200 = 60
Number of students getting 3 heads out of 3 = 0.20 × 200 = 40
QA
Number of times fewer than two
heads turned up
Fewer than 2 heads (i.e. 0 and 1
head
30 + 70 = 100
QB
Number of times more than one
heads is turned up
More than 1 head (i.e. 2 and 3 heads)
60 + 40 = 100
C is the answer

Not sure if this is another way of solving the question:
QA: 1 head or 0 head
QB: 2 head or 3 head
Since it's an or probability, you add the probabilities:
QA = 0.5
QB = 0.5
A=B
Choice C
QA: 1 head or 0 head
QB: 2 head or 3 head
Since it's an or probability, you add the probabilities:
QA = 0.5
QB = 0.5
A=B
Choice C
