Suppose that a coin has been altered to come up heads 80% of the time. If many samples of 60 coin flips are taken, which of the following is the number of heads that would likely come up most frequently in a sample?

Answer:

There are gonna be 48 heads after 60 coin flips with those altered coins.

Explanation:

Givens

  • The coind has 80% chnages to come up heads.
  • There are 60 coins.

If there 60 coins flips, the number heads would probably be


80\%(60)=0.80(60)=48

Therefore, there are gonna be 48 heads after 60 coin flips with those altered coins.

Remember that the percentage represents the probability of getting heads in one trial, if we make several trials, we must multiply that number with the probability of the single event.

60*80%=

60*0.8 = 48

one of your choices should be 48 or something close to 48
