Question:

You suspect that a coin may have a bias toward landing tails more often than heads, and decide to test this suspicion by tossing the coin 100 times. The result is that you get 40 heads (and 60 tails). A calculation (not shown here) indicates that the probability of getting 40 or fewer heads in 100 tosses with a fair coin is 0.0284. Find the P-value and level of statistical significance for your result. Should you conclude that the coin is biased against heads?
