To predict the number of times you would flip heads and roll an odd number in 120 tries, we need to consider the probabilities of each event happening.
Flipping a fair dime:
The probability of flipping heads on a fair dime is 1/2, since there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails) and they are equally likely. Therefore, in 120 tries, we would expect to get heads approximately (1/2) * 120 = 60 times.
Rolling a fair six-sided die:
The probability of rolling an odd number on a fair six-sided die is 3/6, or simplified, 1/2. Out of the six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6), three of them are odd (1, 3, 5). Therefore, in 120 tries, we would expect to roll an odd number approximately (1/2) * 120 = 60 times.
So, based on these probabilities, we would predict to flip heads and roll an odd number approximately 60 times each in 120 tries.
