What is the mean variance and standard deviation for the number of heads when 20 coins are tossed?

mean = np = 20*0.5 = 10 Variance = npq = 20*0.5*0.5 = 5 Std dev = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(20*0.5*0.5) = 2.23

A coin is tossed 100 times how many times would you expect to get heads?

The probability of a heads is 1/2. The expected value of independent events is the number of runs times the probability of the desired result. So: 100*(1/2) = 50 heads
