Tossing Coins
If you toss a coin, what is the probability of getting
heads? Tails? If you toss a coin 10 times, how many
heads and how many tails would you expect to get?
Working with a partner, have one person toss a coin
ten times while the other person tallies the results on a
sheet of paper. Then, switch tasks to produce a
separate tally of the second set of 10 tosses.

Interest Grabber Answers
1.
Assuming that you expect 5 heads and 5 tails in 10 tosses, how do the
results of your tosses compare? How about the results of your partner’s
tosses? How close was each set of results to what was expected?
Results will vary, but should be close to 5 heads and 5 tails.
2.
Add your results to those of your partner to produce a total of 20 tosses.
Assuming that you expect 10 heads and 10 tails in 20 tosses, how close
are these results to what was expected?
The results for 20 tosses may be closer to the predicted 10 heads and 10 tails.
3.
If you compiled the results for the whole class, what results would you
expect?
The results for the entire class should be even closer to the number predicted by
the rules of probability.
4.
How do the expected results differ from the observed results?
The observed results are usually slightly different from the
expected results.
