Answer:

We expect 30 heads.

Explanation:

There are 2 sides to a coin, heads and tails. They are equally likely. So the probably of getting a heads is 1/2

If we want to know how many times we will get heads, we multiply the number of flips by the probability of getting heads.

number of heads = 60 * 1/2

= 30
