Answer to Problem 5E
The estimate for the probability of heads is
Explanation of Solution
The estimate for the probability of heads can be calculated as:
If you obtained
The probability of heads is the amount of heads you have obtained on the spins divided by the number of spins performed is as follows:
Thus the estimate for the probability of headsis
(b)
To explain how could you get an even better estimate.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Yes we can get even better estimate. You could get an even better estimate, by increasing the number of performed spins. Thus by increasing the number of spins the estimate can get even better. The spins should be greater than
