When you flip a coin, the probability of its landing on each side is p = q
Question:
(a) Find the expected standard deviation for the number of heads in 1 000 coin flips.
(b) By interpolation in Table 4-1, find the value of z that includes 90% of the area of the Gaussian curve. We expect that 90% of the results will lie within this number of standard deviations from the mean.
(c) If you repeat the 1 000 coin flips many times, what is the expected range for the number of heads that includes 90% of the results? (For example, your answer might be, "The range 490 to 510 will be observed 90% of the time.")
