Question

Make a decision about, the given claim. Do not use any formal procedures and exact calculations. Use only the rare event rule. Claim A coin favors heads when tossed, and there are 14 heads in 26 tosses Which of the following is correct? A. There does appear to be sufficient evidence to support the claim because there are not substantially more heads than tails B. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim because there are substantially more heads than tails C. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim because these are not substantially more heads than is D. There does appear to be sufficient evidence to support the claim because there are substantially more heads than tails.

Explanation / Answer

If the coin is unbiased. In an perfect tossing there should be 13 heads and 13 tails. But here there are 14 heads which is not very much further from what we should get in the theoretical concept.

So we conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim because there are not substantially more heads than tails.
