36. You tossed a five-peso coin five times
and you got heads each time. You tossed
again and still a head turned up. Do you
think the coin is biased? Why?
A. I think the 5 peso coin is biased it
favored the heads.
B. I think the coin is biased because it is
expected to turn up tail for the next
experiments.
C. I think the coin is not biased because
both faces of the coin have equal
chances of turning up.
D. I think the coin is not biased because
the probability of turning heads up is
¾ while that of tails is only ¼.
