The simulations of flipping a coin 5 times and an additional 10,000 times are shown in Figs. 9 and 10, respectively.

a. Determine the first five outcomes of the simulated experiment.
b. What was the relative frequency of heads after 5 flips of the coin? Is this a good estimate of the probability of getting heads from flipping a coin once? Explain.
c. What was the relative frequency of heads after 10,005 flips of the coin? Is this a good estimate of the probability of getting heads from flipping a coin once? Explain.
