Homework: Look at your results
from your coin flip lab (or do it again if you have lost the results).
Compare your results to the yellow boxes in
your book on the pages listed below. Figure out:
1) Why flipping coins constitutes a binomial setting (p.
269);
2) Why the count of successes in each of the coin flips
constitutes a binomial binomial distribution (p. 270);
3) how the mean and standard deviation of each of the columns
compare with the formulas on p. 274; and
4) which of the columns qualify to use the normal
approximation for the count of successes (p. 278).
