Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
Each of the 20 students in Mr. Anderson's class flipped a coin ten times and recorded how many times it came out heads.
Part A: How many heads do you think you will see out of ten tosses? Your answer here
Part B: Would it surprise you to see 4 heads out of ten tosses? Explain why or why not. Your answer here
Part C: Here are the results for the twenty students in Mr. Anderson's class. Use this data to estimate the probability of observing 4, 5 or 6 heads in ten tosses of the coin.
