Flip a coin 30 times and document the result of each toss. Then
provide both the empirical and theoretical probability
distributions. Use the appropriate expression for probability.

Create a histogram on excel for a coin toss. Flip the coin 6
times, each time moving down to the left (for heads) and to the
right (for tails).
Consider it a success if when flipping a coin, the coin lands
with the head side facing up. Then the probability of a success is
.5 (p=.5) and the probability of failure is .5 (q=.5) for each
event of flipping a coin. In this lab you will repeat a procedure
of...

Both Alice and Bob toss a fair coin three times. The probability
that Alice records a different numbers of heads than Bob is given
by A/B, where A and B are relatively prime integers (greatest
common divisor is 1). Find A + B.
Flip a coin 10 times. Put a 1 each time
the coin comes up heads and a 0 each time the coin comes up tails.
Count the number of heads you obtained and divide by 10. What
number did you get?
a. Is the number you obtained in part
(a) a parameter or a statistic?
b. Now flip the coin 25 times. Put a 1
each time you obtain a heads and a 0 for tails. Count the number of...
1. A) If you flip an unfair coin 100 times, and the probability
for a coin to be heads is 0.4, then the number of heads you expect
on average is:
B) If you flip an unfair coin 100 times, and the probability for
a coin to be heads is 0.4, then the standard deviation for the
number of heads is:
C) If you flip an unfair coin 2 times, and the probability for a
coin to be heads is...
Choose a binomial probability experiment. You could flip a coin,
or toss a basketball from the free throw line and see if you make
the shot or miss, or choose another experiment where the outcome is
a success or failure (only two possible outcomes.)
1) Make a guess about the probability of success before doing
the experiment.
2) Repeat the experiment 50 times, and record the results.
3) Calculate the empirical probability of success, and compare
it to your original...

hink about the following game: A fair coin is tossed 10 times.
Each time the toss results in heads, you receive $10; for tails,
you get nothing. What is the maximum amount you would pay to play
the game?
Define a success as a toss that lands on heads. Then the
probability of a success is 0.5, and the expected number of
successes after 10 tosses is 10(0.5) = 5. Since each success pays
$10, the total amount you would...
