Question

Eddie told Alfred I'll bet if I could flip three coins I can get exactly two heads Alfred replied I'll bet I can get exactly two heads if I flip four coins Eddie scoffed well so what that's easier Alfred argued no it's not it's harder who is correct show your work and be prepared to defend your conclusion

Answer 1

Alfred is wrong because with more coins you get more chances to get heads...because if you have three coins then you only have three chances to get two of the coins landing on heads, if you have four coins you now have four chances

Answer 2

Alfred, because he is more at risk for flipping more than 2 heads, were Eddie can only flip a maximum of 3 so the probability is in his favour
