10,000 coins are tossed

a) what is the probability that between 4950 and 5050 of them fall heads

b) Between 4850 and 5150

c)Between 4995 and 5005

Solution

Mean = 10000 * 1/2 = 5000

SD = ?[10000 * (1/2) * (1/2)] = 50.

So for a, you want the part of the normal curve betwen -1 and +1 SD. That is .3413 + .3413 = .6826.

For b, you want the part of the normal curve betwen -3 and +3 SD. That is .4987 + .4987 = .9974

For c, you want the part of the normal curve between -.1 and +.1 SD. That is .0398 + .0398 = .0796.
