    If you flip two coins 8 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times both coins will land on tails?

    A)  4           

    B)  1           

    C)  2      

    D)  5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

          There are 4 possible outcomes: heads on both coins tails on both coins heads on first coin, tails on second coin tails on first coin, heads on second coin There is 1 favorable outcome: tails on both coins. The probability is 1 out of 4, or \[\frac{1}{4}\] Now find \[\frac{1}{4}\]  of 8. \[\frac{1}{4}\times 8=2\] So, the best prediction possible is 2 out of 8 times. You pick a marble at random.
