Melody Buck · Answer 1

Alfred, because he is more at risk for flipping more than 2 heads, were Eddie can only flip a maximum of 3 so the probability is in his favour

Duncan Kidd · Answer 2

Alfred is wrong because with more coins you get more chances to get heads ... because if you have three coins then you only have three chances to get two of the coins landing on heads, if you have four coins you now have four chances
