Answer:

1

Explanation:

A coin only has two outcomes. Meaning that she has a 50/50 chance of landing on each side. So, 50% of 20 is 10. According to the theoretical probabilty, the coin would have landed on heads 10 times and tails 10 times. So, for that to be true Maria would have had to land on tails one more time.
