LOOK AT GARYS COIN FLIP RESULTS AND

1. Develop a frequency distribution of the number of heads.

2. What are the characteristics of a normal distribution?

3. Does this distribution seem to approximate the normal distribution?

4. Why or why not?

GARYS COIN FLIP RESULTS:

1. A fair coin has a 50% chance of falling on either heads or tails, so you would anticipate getting five heads each time.
2. No, receiving a different number of heads than anticipated does not indicate that you made a mistake. This is due to the fact that coin tosses never guarantee an exact split between heads and tails, even with a fair coin.
3. No, having three consecutive heads has no bearing on the likelihood of having a tails flip. The likelihood of receiving heads or tails is constant regardless of the results of prior flips since each coin flip is independent of the others.
