Spinning a coin, unlike tossing it, may not give heads and tails equal probabilities. I spun a penny 300 times and got 128 heads. We wish to find how significant is this evidence against equal probabilities.

  1. What is the sample proportion of heads?

    Round to 3 places.

  2. Heads do not make up half of the sample. Is this sample evidence that the probabilities of heads and tails are different?

    Take p to be the probability of getting heads in a spin of a penny. Which hypotheses do we want to test?



  3. Compute the z test statistic.

    z = Round to 2 places.
