It is expected that it would land on tails 15 times

Here, we want to get the number of times the coin will land on it tail

Mathematically, the probability that a coin will land on its head or on its tail is the same at 1/2

So the number of times out of 30 flips will be;


(1)/(2)*30\text{ = 15 times}
