Solution

The most likely outcome is that the number of 'tails' will be around 250. This is because the random number generator is set to produce a 'head' 75% of the time (any number less than 75 out of a range of 0-99) and a 'tail' 25% of the time (any number 75 or greater). Over 1000 trials, we would therefore expect roughly 750 'heads' and 250 'tails'.
