1. How does your outcome in your coin tossing differ from the theoretical value?

theoretical values.

e= (4.303)(0.036)=0.154

95% CI level estimate for d ( 1 2) : (-0.154, 0.154)

Therefore, there is no significant difference between the two values.
General conclusion: There is no significant difference between the experimental values and
theoretical values for the 25 trial experiment but some instances like the 10 trial experiment
where a large difference was calculated.
Experiment: 0.24
Theoretical: 0.31
P(3H2T) = 0 (experimental)

P(HTHTH)= 0.04

P(3H2T)=0.03 (theoretical)

P(HTHTH)= 0.01

*Probabilities are the same (theoretical).

1. Is there a difference in outcome using one bead of each color compared to 10 beads of each
color?
Theoretically, there shouldnt be a difference in outcome since all of the colors in both
experiments have an equal probability of getting picked. However, this is all theoretically. In our
actual experiment, we can see that even though there is a one or more colors that is picked more
than the others, most of the others colors have more or less the same probabilities.
