Question

Dovovan flips a coin of 96 times. How many times should he expect to land on heads

Answer 1

Mathematically, he should land heads 48 times.

Explanation:

As there are 2 sides: heads and tails, there is a 50% chance of landing either. Therefore, 96 x 50% = 48. Although if you tried it out, it won't exactly be 48 times, there's sure to be more of the other, but based on probabilities, you have a 50% chance of landing the either.

Answer 2

Answer: 48 times
Step-by-step:
The probability that a coin lands on heads is p= 0.5 or 50%. Each coin flip is independent from the previous. This means we can estimate that the coin will land on heads 48 times. However, we cannot be exactly certain of this because of the nature of probability.
