Question:

Four games, one winner. Below are four versions fo the same game. Your archenmisis gets to pick the version of the game, and then you get to choose how many times to flip a coin: 10 times or 100 times. Identify how many coin flips you should choose for each version of the game. It costs $1 to play each game. Explain your reasoning.

(a) If the proportion of heads is larger than 0.60, you win $1.

(b) If the proportion of heads is larger than 0.40, you win $1.

(d) If the proportion of heads is smaller than 0.30, you win

Provided below please also refer to the attached image for better understating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of large numbers: As the number of trials increases the result tends towards the expected probability.

For example in case of a coin flips, the expected result of getting a head is 0.50 so as we increase the number of flips the end results is more likely to be close to 0.50.

When we have less number of flips then there is more variability which means end result is more likely to be away from expected result.

a) Since we want to have a probability (P>0.60) that is away from the expected probability (P=0.50) then we should have less number of flips.

So n = 10 should be selected.

b) Since we want to have a probability (P>0.40) that is close or going towards the expected probability (P=0.50) then we should have more number of flips.

So n = 100 should be selected.

b) Since we want to have a probability (0.40 < P < 0.60) that is close to the expected probability (P=0.50) then we should have more number of flips.

So n = 100 should be selected.

d) Since we want to have a probability (P<0.30) that is away from the expected probability (P=0.50) then we should have less number of flips.

So n = 10 should be selected.

Juliana says that she can use the patterns of equivalent ratios in the multiplication table below to write an infinite number of ratios that are equivalent to 6: 10. which statement explains whether juliana is correct? she is correct because she can multiply 6 and 10 by any number to form an equivalent ratio. she is correct because 6: 10 can be written as 1: 2 and there are an infinite number of ratios for 1: 2. she is not correct because the multiplication table does not include multiples of 10. she is not correct because 6: 10 is equivalent to 3: 5 and there are only 9 ratios in the multiplication table that are equivalent to 3: 5.
