Simulating Coin Flips (Example 21)
a. Use the line of random numbers below to simulate flipping a coin 20 times. Use the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 to represent heads and the digits 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to represent tails.

b. Based on these 20 trials, what is the simulated
compare with the theoretical probability of getting heads?
c. Suppose you repeated your simulation 1000 times and used the simulation to find the
simulated probability of getting heads. How would the simulated probability compare with the
theoretical probability of getting heads?
