Question

Jillian lands the beanbag in the hole in about half of her attempts in a beanbag toss game. How can she predict the number of times she will get the beanbag in the hole in her next 5 attempts using a coin toss?

Answer 1

Explanation:

So in the case of Jillian, landing the beanbag in the cornhole is 1/2. So this is just like flipping a coin.

the first time she tosses the beanbag she has a 1/2 chance of getting it in the cornhole and 1/2 chance of getting it outside the cornhole. And since she needs to get 5 tosses in a row into the cornhole, we multiply

1/2(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/32

I hope that helps :)
