Question
Spinning a coin, unlike tossing it, may not give heads and
tails equal probabilities. I spun a penny 250 times and got
109 heads. We wish to find how significant is this evidence
against equal probabilities.
a. What is the sample proportion of heads?
Round to 3 decimal places.
b. Heads do not make up half of the sample. Is this
sample evidence that the probabilities of heads and
tails are different?
Take p to be the probability of getting heads in a
spin of a penny. Which hypotheses do we want to
test?
