    ANSWER:

    The probability of flipping a coin

    coming up heads and tails is 1/2.

    ________⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛_________

    So, toss 5000 times 5000/2= 2500

    heads: 2500

    tails : 2500

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You can’t expect to get exactly 2500 out of 5000 tosses more than a few times . You will come pretty close, but that’s only good in horseshoes.

    Of course I’m answering this on the basis of a computer language and not actually performinig this a million tmes, each part of a million consisting of 5000 tosses.

    Simulations and not completely unbiased, but based on experience, 5000 is a very small number and getting 2500 more than a couple of times is unlikely
