Question

Mason plays a game by flipping two fair coins. He wins the game if both coins land facing heads up. If Mason plays 300 times, how many times should he expect to win? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

the Mason can expect to win 100 times ..

Answer 2

If Mason plays the game 300 times , he should expect to win 75 games.

Total Number of possible outcomes when two fair coins are tossed = 4 {(H,H),(H,T),(T,T),(T,H)}

Probability of winning one game = when coins are heads up/total outcomes

= 1/4

Probability of winning 300 games = 300/4 = 75

Mason can expect to win 75 games when the game is played 300 times.
