SIP Activity 2: Coin Toss Analysis
Coin Tosses (Part 1)
In this activity each student (groupmate) will first toss a coin 10 times (or access the StatCrunch applet* to simulate 10 tosses) and repeat the process to produce 4 sets of 10 tosses each
. *StatCrunch applet is found via QUICK LINKS > MyLab StatCrunch > StatCrunch website > Interactive applets > Simulations > “Probability of a head with a fair coin.” You may select 5 flips at a time in the applet
. Record your results in the table below. The exact sequence of heads and tails should be written in the Outcomes columns. Set #

FIRST POST
: Each groupmate must post the results of their four sets in the Discussion board.
After all groupmates have posted their results, compile the data for “No. of Heads” of the group in the table below. For example
, if there are 5 groupmates, there should be 20 sets; add rows as needed if you have more.

Make a histogram of the ‘Frequency of sets resulting in __95___ number of heads
,’ i.e., the frequency with which a certain number of heads occurred: 0 time, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, … etc., among all the group’s sets. Your histogram can be created with StatCrunch or Excel and inserted into this document. Or use the blank graph provided on the next page to draw your histogram. Page 1

SECOND POST (and subsequent posts)
: Share your histogram of the group’s results, and your answers to all remaining questions and tables of SIP Activity 2, in the Discussion board.
Empirical Probabilities of Coin Tosses
Consider the group’s
relative frequencies of obtaining a certain number of heads as empirical probabilities. So, based on all the group’s
sets
, calculate the following empirical probabilities.
1.
What is the empirical probability of obtaining 0 heads in 10 tosses?
0%
2.
What is the empirical probability of obtaining 1 head in 10 tosses?
0%
3.
What is the empirical probability of obtaining 9 heads in 10 tosses?
0%
4.
What is the empirical probability of obtaining 10 heads in 10 tosses?
0%
5.
Based on your group’s empirical probabilities, were any of the events, 0, 1, 9, or 10 heads, considered unusual events? Why or why not?
Yes, 0, 1, 9, and 10 are considered empirically unusual. As a group, we had zero outcomes of either of those values. Any event that is <
0.05 or 5% is considered unusual, and each of these four values in question meet the criteria. Page 2

Theoretical Probabilities of Coin Tosses (Part 2)
Think of tossing a coin 10 times as a binomial probability experiment, where the probability of heads is p
=
0.5
. Compute the remaining theoretical probabilities of obtaining a certain number of heads in 10 tosses in the table below.* Enter your earlier empirical results in the last two columns. (
Ex
: the empirical probability
of obtaining exactly 3 heads is the proportion
of all your group’s sets
that resulted in obtaining exactly 3 heads.)

Theoretical vs. Empirical
The theoretical probabilities of obtaining a certain number of heads in 10 tosses of a coin were calculated using the binomial probability function.
1.
Would it be unusual, theoretically, to observe 0, 1, 9, or 10 heads in 10 tosses of a coin? Why or why not? (Hint: What are the probabilities of these events?)
It would be unusual to observe a 0, 1, 9, or 10 because the probabilities of each are 0.001, 0.01, 0.01, and 0.001 respectively. Any event that is <
0.05 or 5% is considered unusual, and each of these four values in question meet the criteria. 2.
Discuss the differences, if any, between the theoretical probabilities in part 2 and your empirical probabilities in part 1. Do differences indicate that the coins were not fair coins? What may be done to narrow the gap between theoretical and empirical probabilities?
Differences between theoretical and empirical probabilities do not define the fairness of the coin. Theoretical probabilities are just that, theories. In order to close the gap between theoretical and empirical probabilities, the number of coin tosses must be a much larger number. Page 4

A private lake sells boating memberships and currently has 600 members. During the application process the potential members are asked which recreational activity they do the most. Their choices are fishing, skiing, boarding, swimming, or tubing. The lake manager chooses clients according to their interests to maximize the use of all areas of the lake. Every month, the lake rangers randomly sample the boats on the lake and categorize them according to the activity they are doing. The lake manager performs a chi-square goodness-of-fit test using the following null hypothesis to see whether their samples differ significantly from what the original applications claim.

One male and one female dam rat pup were randomly selected from 8 litters to perform the swim maze. Each pup was
placed in the water at one end of the maze and allowed to swim until it escaped at the opposite end. If the pup failed to
escape after a certain period of time, it was placed at the beginning of the maze and given another chance. The experiment
was repeated until each pup accomplished three successful escapes. The table to the right reports the number of swims
required by each pup. Is there sufficient evidence of a difference between the mean number of swims required by male and
female pups? Use a=0.01. Comment on the assumptions required for the test to be valid.

A researcher is curious to see if the amount of time spent on social media influences how often friends meet in person to socialize.
After their sample is selected the researcher asks the subjects on average how much time they spend on social media each day and then asks their subjects to keep track of how many times they meet in person with their friends to socialize and report back at the end of the month. What type of study design is this?
The research obtains 100 participates who met with their friends in person at least 15 times in the last month to socialize and 100 participates who met with their friends in persons less than 15 times in the last month to socialize. Then the researcher asks the participants on average how many hours per day did they spend on social media during the month before. What type of study design is this?

Jedi Master Astaal Vibum is interested in studying the midi-clorian count in Jedi younglings and how those levels change as they become padawan and ultimately full Jedi knights.

Measurements will be taken annually until they leave the Jedi order or reach the level of Jedi Master. What is the population of this study?

that light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the
five-year study, but only half as likely as heavy smokers. A randomly
selected participant from the study died over the five-year period. Cal-

Babies Learn Early Who They Can TrustA study1 indicates that babies may choose not to learn from someone they don’t trust. A group of 60 babies, aged 13 to 16 months, were randomly divided into two groups. Each baby watched an adult express great excitement while looking into a box. The babies were then shown the box and it either had a toy in it (the adult could be trusted) or it was empty (the adult was not reliable.) The same adult then turned on a push-on light with her forehead, and the number of babies who imitated the adult’s behavior by doing the same thing was counted. The results are in Table 1. Test at a 5% level to see if there is evidence that babies are more likely to imitate those they consider reliable.

Research has shown that the first thing that 56% of Americans write when they receive a new ballpoint pen is their first name. To see if this is true, you pass out free ballpoint pens and a note pad to a large group of educators at a conference. You then ask all the educators at the conference to test how they like the new ballpoint pen by writing something on the note pad. You randomly select 40 conference participates and ask them if they wrote their first name on the note pad when they tested their new pen. Twenty-four of the 40 participants wrote their first name to test the new pen. Is there evidence to show that 56% of Americans do indeed write their first name when they get a new ballpoint pen? What is the decision for this hypothesis test?

An aptitude test is required by the human resources department to become an electrical repairman. The manager was able to get the score for each repairman in the sample. In addition, he determined which of the repairmen were union members (code = 1) and which were not (code = 0). The sample information is reported below.
