Coins A coin is to be tossed 36 times.

a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the number of heads?

b) Suppose the resulting number of heads is unusual, two standard deviations above the mean. How many “ extra” heads were observed (how many more than the mean)?

c) If the coin were tossed 100 times, would you still consider the same number of extra heads unusual? Explain.

d) In the 100 tosses, how many extra heads would you need to observe in order to say the results were unusual?

e) Explain how these results refute the “Law of Averages” but confirm the Law of Large Numbers.
