If we flip a coin 10 times, what percentage of the time will the coin land on
Question:
If we flip a coin 10 times, what percentage of the time will the coin land on heads? A first step to answering this question is to simulate 10 flips. Use the random number table in Appendix A to simulate flipping a coin 10 times. Let the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 represent heads and the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 represent tales. Begin with the first digit in the fifth row.
a. Write the sequence of 10 random digits.
b. Change the sequence of 10 random digits to a sequence of heads and tails, writing H for the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and the T for the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. What was the longest streak of heads in your list?
c. What percentage of the flips were heads?
