Peter calculated that the theoretical probability of obtaining exactly two heads when flipping six coins is 23.4%. what number of heads also has a 23.4% theoretical probability of coming up when 6 coins are flipped?

4 heads

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the coins are properly weighted such that each side is equally likely, this means that getting heads is the same probability as getting tails. We're told that getting 2 heads and 4 tails is a 23.4% chance. If we somehow fool our brains into thinking heads and tails swap, then it would be 4 heads and 2 tails. The swap is simply changing the labels for each coin. It really doesn't matter. This symmetry is useful to help simplify larger problems.

If the coins were altered so that the chances of getting heads on any single coin toss was something like 60%, then swapping the labels wouldn't work because the two sides would be different.

its 60

4 x 12 = 48

3 x 4 = 12

48 + 12 = 60

yeeeet

thats one
