Bonnie and Clyde usually flip a coin to decide who's going to do the chores. One day, Clyde complains--He thinks he loses too often. So Bonnie says, OK, this time you flip two coins, and I flip one. If you get more heads than I do, I'll clean the guns. Clyde likes Bonnie's display of generosity and says, You've got a deal! What are his chances?

  1. His chance of the coin flip depends on gravity. He really needs to look into getting a bullet proof suit for that upcoming roadtrip to texas.


  2. His chance will increase 60%.

  3. 2 out 4 chances

  4. He still has a fifty-fifty shot.

    Below are the four combinations where Bonnie will clean the guns

    Clyde ;            Bonnie

    H, H     ;               H

    H, H      ;              T

    H, T        ;             T

    T, H         ;            T

  5. doubble.....

  6. less than when just flipping the one coin -- 3 in 8 chance

  7. heads will come up 60% of the time.

    But, in order for him to win, he has to get heads on both coins because "if you get more heads than I do ..." , his chances are definitely worse this time around. But, I am not sure how to calculate it.
