The paper “What Is the Probability of a Kiss? (It’s Not What You Think)” (Journal of Statistics Education (online) [2002]) posed the following question:
What is the probability that a Hershey’s Kiss will land on its base (as opposed to its side) if it is flipped onto a table? Unlike flipping a coin, there is no reason to believe that this probability would be .5.

Working as a class, develop a plan that would enable you to estimate this probability empirically. Once you have an acceptable plan, carry it out and use the resulting data to produce an estimate of the desired probability. Do you think that a kiss is equally likely to land on its base or on its side? Explain.
