Madi and Alex are both tossing a fair coin. Madi tosses hers 10 times and Alex tosses his 30 times. Which of them is more likely to get more than 60% heads or do they have the same chance? Explain why?
1.) Describe a model for Madi and Alex's coin tossing. What measures can help you decide who is more likely to get more than 60% or if they are equally likely.
2.) If you gave students this problem without doing a simulation what responses would you expect from the students in relation to the scenario?
3.) If students were using a hands on or computer simulaiton approach to analyze Madi and Alex's flipping would you expect different responses? Yes or No? If yes provide responses of what students may be doing? If no explain why students' responses would be the same with or without any type of simulation.
