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)?
