If you flip a coin 10 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on tails?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of tails is 1/2, so the expected value is (1/2) (10) = 5.

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of land a tail when the coin is tossed once is 1/2 because a coin has two sides and contains one head

Then when it is tossed 10 times, the no of time a tail appears is. 1/2 * 10 =5

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
