a coin is fair if it lands on heads as often as it lands on tails. A coin is flipped 101 times and lands on heads 42 times. Conclude whether the coin is fair at a 5% level of significance

Step 1
- Null hypothesis (H0): The coin is fair, meaning the probability of heads (p) is 0.5. - Alternative hypothesis (H1): The coin is not fair, meaning the probability of heads (p) is not 0.5. Show more…

An experimenter flips a coin 100 times and gets 62 heads. We wish to test the claim that the coin is fair (i.e. a coin is fair if a heads shows up 50% of the time). Test if the coin is fair or unfair at a 0.05 level of significance. Calculate the z test statistic for this study. Enter as a number, round to 2 decimal places.

In 100 tosses of a coin, 63 heads and 37 tails are observed. Is this a balanced coin? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

You have a coin that you suspect is not fair. You flip it 100 times and find that it comes up heads 58 times. At the 0.05 significance level, test the hypothesis that the coin is biased towards heads.
