Answer to Problem 6E
The estimate for the probability that the coin falls heads upis
Explanation of Solution
The estimate for the probability that the coin falls heads up can be calculated as:
If you obtained
The probability of heads is the amount of heads you have obtained on the repetitionsdivided by the number of repetitionsperformed is as follows:
Thus the estimate for the probability that the coin falls heads upis
(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 repetitions. Thus by increasing the number of repetitionsthe estimate can get even better. The repetitionsshould be greater than
