Say you entered a giveaway that ended with 100 entries - your estimated wins would go up by 0.01, as 1 would be definite winning, and a 100th of that is 0.01 - it's how many times you should have won (but not something to go by in some cases).

If you flip a coin twice, how many times do you expect to see a heads?

First time see a head 50%.
First time and Second Time see a head 25%.

Umm, no. Each coin flip has a 50% chance of coming up heads. The previous flip does not affect the next flip.

You are overall going to see half heads and half tails, give or take a few.

I think what he means is to get heads both the first AND the second time. That actually is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 = 0,25 What comes unaffected is getting heads the first time OR the second time.

The difference is between union or intersection of cases.
