okay, take it step by step. the first part is finding how many times/probability there will be more heads than tails when u toss ten coins. (i.e. 6,7,8,9,10 heads).
then it asks you if you did that 50 times, how many times that'll happen.
so basically from the answer u can see it happens 38% percent of the time.
