Answer:

4a. About 54 times NOT INCLUDING THE FIRST TRIAL

4b. About 60 times NOT INCLUDING THE FIRST TRIAL

Explanation:

I say about because we don't know if it's ALWAYS going to be the same results.

4a. Also 12*4 because it's 20 times so 20*4=80 then you add half of it to become 90 and you get 54

4b. 12*5 because 100/5=20 for the 20 trials of them
