When flipping a coin 2 times, the best prediction for the number of times it will land on tails is 1.
Here’s why: A fair coin has an equal chance of landing on heads or tails, which is 50% for each flip. Therefore, over 2 flips, we can expect around 1 tail on average (since 2 flips multiplied by 0.5 equals 1). However, it can also land on 0, 1, or 2 tails with different probabilities.
