Question

A fair coin is flipped a 100 times with an outcome of 30 heads and 70 tails. The expected probability of a head or tail is 50%. The same experiment (i.e. flipping the coin 100 times) is run 10 more times with the same outcome each time (i.e. 30 heads and 70 tails).

8a.   Would you conclude that the results of your experiments were accurate relative to what was expected? Why or why not?

8b. Would you conclude that the results of your experiments were precise relative to what was expected? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer

8a. The results of experiments were accurate relative to what we have expected as the results are same as the outcome produced first. So, here the experiments are accurate here.

8b. Here the results of our experiments are not precise relative to what was expected. We expected here 50 heads and 50 tails here but we didn't get precisely what we we were expecting from the results.
