Given the statement:
A coin is flip 100 times.
Determine the number of times would you expect it to land on tails.
Explanation:
The probability of a coinflip to either land on heads or tails is 50%, hence if a coin is flip 100 times, it is pre-assumed, that the number of tails will be 50% of the number coin flips. 50% of 100 is 50, therefore, we can expect that the coin will land on tails 50 times.
Final answer:
The coin is expected to land on tails 50 times.
