As a prisoner of war during World War II, the English mathematician John Kerrich (1903−1985) per-
formed simple experiments to demonstrate a number of fundamental laws of probability. One such exper-
iment was tossing a coin 10,000 times and recording whether it landed heads or tails on each toss. He
obtained 5,067 heads. So, the empirical probability of getting heads on a single toss for his experiment was
p̂ = 5, 067/10, 000 = 50.67%.
1. Toss a coin n = 50 times and record the number of times it comes up heads. From your data, compute
a point estimate, p̂, for the fraction of times it comes up heads. Let p be the probability of heads on
a single toss. Construct a 99% confidence interval to test whether your data is consistent with the
hypothesis that the coin is fair. (Clearly set-up the null and alternative hypotheses and interpret the
results of your confidence interval).
2. Repeat the procedure from #1, but now toss the coin n = 100 times. Is your data still consistent with
the hypothesis that the coin is fair? What has happened to the margin of error?
3. Say you want to be 99% confident with a margin of error of 1% that you will capture the true probability
of landing heads on a single toss.
(a) Using your point estimate from #2, how many times must you toss the coin to achieve this?
(b) How many times must you toss the coin if you do not want to rely on a prior estimate?
