A person was modeling a declining population with a decay factor of 0.5 using pennies. They started with 100 pennies and flipped all 100 pennies. Any pennies that landed on tails were removed. Then, the remaining pennies are flipped again and again the ones landing on tails were removed. The process is repeated until no pennies are left. How many flips is the most reasonable expectation for when this model should reach 0 pennies?
4 flips
