Hi
7 out of 10 happened to land point up for Marjorie
Ruth might expect with 100 dropped.. to land point Up 70 times
as 7/10 = 70/100
However, one cannot be assured that would happen.
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
Because the particular results of one statistical experiment DO NOT determine causally the particular results of the other,
although a similar, statistical experiment.
The argument = is IRRELEVANT and does not work,
when you consider the particular results of a statistical experiment.
It is clear even to a kindergarten alumni . . .
It is from the area of COMMON SENSE . . .

Regarding the post and the question, notice that it DOES NOT ask about "expectation"/"expectations".
The question in the post very rigidly asks about very concrete result - not about statistical expectations/estimations.
