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? Please help!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flipping a coin is random and not fixed, so there is no way she would know that it would be 240 heads and 240 tails. Sure the probability of it happening is 50% but it is not certain.

That she's wrong lol. Just because there's a 50% chance of something happening doesn't mean that it will happen exactly 50% of the time. If I flipped a coin once and it was heads, then that doesn't mean i will automatically get tails the next
