Evelyn believes that if she flips a coin 480 times, it will land tails up exactly 240 times. What would you tell Evelyn about her prediction? (5 points)

Answer 1

I would tell Evelyn that her prediction is not accurate. While the theoretical probability of a coin landing on tails is 0.5, in reality, the outcome is determined by chance and can vary. Flipping a coin 480 times does not guarantee that it will land tails up exactly 240 times. The actual number of times it lands on tails may vary from 240 due to randomness and variability.
