Question

How would you expect your results would change if your flipped the coins 1,000 times instead of 100 times? (free answer) essay question ; min of 5 sentences

Answer 1

Since, For repeated independent trials, the long run
(i.e. after many many trials) relative
frequency of an outcome gets closer and
closer to the true probability of the outcome.

For example :- Tossing a coin
100 flips
"I can’t predict perfectly, but I’m not going to
predict 0 tails, that’s just not likely to happen.
"I’m going to predict something close to 50 tails
and 50 heads.

"If I toss coin 100 times I expect the proportion of heads to be near 0.50
"If I toss it 1000 times I expect the proportion of heads to be even nearer to 0.50.
nearer to 0.50

Tossing a coin many MANY times
This shows a very possible observed
situation…
" Toss it 100 times, 45 heads = 45/100 = 0.45
" Toss it 1000 times, 485 heads= 485/1000 = 0.485

Thus with more tosses, the closer proportion of heads gets to the truth of 0.50 (it’s “zero-ing in” on the truth).
