\chaptername{ The Law of Averages }
\begin{problem}
\score{1}
%%*******Enter the Statement of the Problem after this line*********
A coin is tossed 100 times, The difference "twice the
number of heads - the number of tails" is like the sum of 100
draws from one of the following boxes. Which one?
%%*******End of the statement of the problem**************
\begin{choice}
\gooditem{ A box with one 2 and one -1 }
\baditem{A box with two 1's and a 0 }
\baditem{ A box with three tickets, two of which are marked
"three" and one of which is marked with a "tails" }
\baditem{ A box with two 1's and one -1 }
\baditem{ A box with two 1's and two 0's }
\end{choice}
\begin{longanswer}
%%******* Enter the Solution to the Problem after next line****
\begin{verbatim}
The correct answer is:
A box with one 2 and one -1
Since the chance of getting 2 or -1 is the same 1/2 but
every time heads (i.e. the number 2 is drawn) is observed
the sum increases by 2 and every time tails (i.e. the number
-1 is drawn) is observed the sum decreases by 1. Hence,
the total sum will be the same as:
"twice the number of heads - number of tails"
\end{verbatim}
%%******* End of solution **************
\end{longanswer}

( second problem goes here as above .... etc. until the last problem )
