This document provides instructions for a coin tossing experiment and analysis. A coin was tossed 100 times, resulting in 54 heads and 46 tails. The sample mean was 0.54, variance was 0.2509, and standard deviation was 0.501. For a fair coin, the probability mass function for the random variable X (defined as 1 for heads and 0 for tails) is p(x)=0.5 for x=1 and x=0, with mean μX=0.5 and variance σX2=0.25. The sample mean X is a normal random variable with mean μX=0.5, variance σX2=0.0025, and probability density function f(x
