Heads or Tails outcome's
Yesterday me and Charlotte flipped a fifty cent coin 25 times to see what the outcome was,
after that we had to turn then into percentages and fractions this was what we got: Table 1: Heads 12 48% Tails 13 52%
We then repeated the experiment and here are our new results.
Table 2: Heads 16 64%, Tails 9 36%
For table 3 we had to combine Table 1 and 2 so we had 50 outcomes to compare our percentages.
Table 3: Heads 29 58% Tails 22 42%
For table 4 me and Charlotte combined our Table 3 with Marlin and Kahlo’s Table 3
to make a table 4 and see what happens to our percentages with 100 outcomes.
Table 4: Heads 55 55% Tails 45 45%
You can see from our results when we added our outcomes together so we had a bigger data
set the percentages became closer to the expected probability of 50/50.
I think if we did even more we might even get to 50/50.
