I have tried to divide the number of flips by the number of heads but that hasn't given me an answer that makes sense.

Here is the question:

Eman and Sarah are testing whether a coin is biased or not.
The results are shown below in the table.
No. of headsNo. of flips
Eman3760
Sarah411840
Work out:
  1. Eman's estimate for the probability of getting a head.
  2. Sarah's estimate for the probability of getting a head.
 
(favorable number of flips)/(total number of flips) = (number of heads)/(total number of flips)
