intro.psych (Psyco 105) Discussion: Group 1 Discussion Group: Methods: Sites to Visit: Probability Demonstration
By Connie Varnhagen (Admin) on Tuesday, September 1, 1998 - 02:34 pm:
Try this coin flipping experiment.
We know that the probability of getting a head on any single flip is .5. Select a small number of flips (10) for the coin experiment. How closely do your results reflect the expected results for the experiment? If your results are not exactly what they "should" be, what does this show about the nature of probability? Select 100 flips. Do your results look more like expected results? What does this show about the importance of sample size?
