Question:

a.) In 1965, a newspaper carried a story about a high school student who reported getting 9207 heads and 8743 tails in 17,950 coin tosses. Is this a significant discrepancy from the null hypothesis \[{{H}_{0}}:p=1/2\]

.

b.) Jack Youden, a statistician at the National Bureau of Standards, contacted the student and asked him exactly how the performed the experiment. To save time the student tossed groups of five coins at a time, and a younger brother recorded the result, shown in the following table:

Number of Heads Frequency
0 100
1 524
2 1080
3 1126
4 655
5 105

Are the data consistent at the 1% significance with the hypothesis that all the coins are fair (p=1/2)?
