Answer:

Explanation:

A fair coin means that there is a 50% probability of heads and a 50% probability of tails.

Playing the game 300 times means that Mason will approach theoretical probability.

Therefore, playing 300 times, he should expect to win 50% of the time, so 50% x 300 = 150 times.


Mason should expect to win 150 times.
