In: Statistics and Probability
A coin is flipped 80 times, and this results in 36 “Heads”. Set up a test to determine whether the coin is fair
Proportion = 0.50
Total number of sample (n) = 80
number of favourable events (X) = 36
We are interested in testing the hypothesis
Since P-value of a two tailed test is equal to 2(\phi(-|Z_0|))
P = 2(0.18555395623998766)
P = 0.3711
Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic value is less than the critical value -1.959963984540054 or greater than the critical value 1.959963984540054
The statistic value, -0.8944 is between the critical values -1.959963984540054 and 1.959963984540054. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
