If I tell you that I have a coin, but it is a special coin. In that, I mean that it is not a 50/50 coin. However, I don't know how likely it is for it to land on heads (or tails). So we decide to flip it 10 times and we get 40% heads (which is 0.40 as a proportion). Are you willing to say that it is a 40/60 coin? Why or why not? after we flipped it...
