Question 3 • VA-Probability and Statistics

What can we conclude from this graph?

Answer
A
This coin appears to be fair because it appears that the proportion of heads is approximately 0.5.
B
The probability of obtaining heads cannot be estimated if we observe a regular and predictable pattern over a long series of trials.
C
This coin appears to be unfair because the proportion of heads fluctuates greatly.
D
If the coin is not fair, we would expect to see the long-run proportion of heads to approach a value other than 0.5.
