Answer:

48

Explanation:

The best prediction for the number of times both coins will land on tails if you flip a coin 96 times is 48. This is because if each coin flip is independent, the probability of getting tails on a single flip is 0.5. Therefore, the probability of getting tails on both flips is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25. So, if you flip a coin 96 times, the expected number of times both coins will land on tails is 96 * 0.25 = 24.
