Explanation / Answer

c) There does appear to be sufficient evidence to support the claim because there are substantially more heads than tails.

According to the Rare event rule, under a given assumption, the probability of a particular observed event is exceptionally small, we conclude that the assumption is probably not correct. Therefore as the proportion of heads here is way greater we have enough evidence that heads comes on majority basis.
