Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. 98) The author of a statistics book has trouble deciding whether to use the words "he" or "she" in the book's examples. To solve the problem, the author flips a coin each time the problem arises. If a head shows, the author uses "he" and if a tail shows, the author uses "she". If this problem occurs 100 times in the book, what is the

probability that "she" will be used 58 times? 98) _____________
