1.6
a) To taste this claim we have to flip the coin infinitely large number of
time, but it will be impossible, therefore we have to take a sample, for
example 100 flip and look at the results.
b) Population will be all possible outcomes of flipping the coin large
number of times.
c) Sample will be 100 flip.
d) Parameter will be the true probability of getting heads (or tails) in a
single flip of the coin, which is assumed to be 0.5 for a fair coin.
e) Statistic will be the result of the 100 flip of the coin.
f) As in this case population is very large it will be impossible to find out
the fairness of the coin, therefore statistical inference will help us to
make the prediction about parameter.

1.7
a) If I observed 95 heads out of 100 flips, then probability of that this
coin is fair will be a low.
b) If I observed 55 heads out of 100 flips, the probability of that this
coin is fair will be a high.
c) I don’t think that even perfectly fair coin can give a result of 50/50
during the 100 flips, it is possible but not mandatory. To claim the high
probability of the fairness of the coin, the observed numbers of each
should be close to the 50.
