Intuitively, if you were to flip a coin 20 times, you might expect to get 10 heads and 10 tails, but do you know the actual odds of obtaining this result?

It is less than 1 in 5!

When attempting this experiment, you could obtain anywhere from 0 to 20 tails, and this means that the chance of getting exactly 10 tails might not be as high as you think.

The theoretical result of 10 heads and 10 tails is the most likely single outcome, but due to the many possible outcomes, the probability of this specific result is only around 17.6%.

The chance of obtaining a different result decreases as we move further from 10 tails.

For example:

The chance of getting 8 tails is around 12%.
The chance of getting 5 tails is around 1.5%.

Do you know when to use 'many' or 'much' to describe different things?

You would say there are many penguins and so much sand on the beach.

'Many' is used to describe nouns that can be counted, while 'much' is used to describe uncountable nouns.

Another rule of thumb is to see whether you are using a plural or singular noun. In this case, 'penguins' is plural and uses the word 'many,' while 'sand' is singular and uses the word 'much.'

By adding a form of measurement, you can change an uncountable noun into something that can be counted.

Example: There are many grains of sand.
