The probability of getting a heads or tails when I toss a coin is .5. Does that mean that out of 500 tosses I will get exactly 250 tails and 250 heads? Due to random chance, that is not likely to be the case. In a small number of tosses, the empirical probability wont likely be exactly 50%. However, due to the law of large numbers you learned about this week, as the number of tosses increases, the empirical probability should approach the theoretical probability of .5. To demonstrate this phenomena this week you will toss a coin 500 times and note whether it lands on heads or tails. Then we will calculate the cumulative percentage/probability for heads/tails for each trial.
