Use the list of random numbers given below to simulate the outcomes of tossing a quarter 11 times. Assume that the quarter is balanced (i.e., fair) and an even digit is assigned to the outcome heads (H) and an odd digit to the outcome tails (T).
9 1 9 7 2 3 9 8 0 0 4
T T T T H T H H H H H
T T T T H T T H H H H
T T T T H H T H H H H
T T T T H T T H H H T
T T T T H T T H H T H
What is your question?
To simulate the outcomes of tossing a quarter, you can follow these steps:
1. Assign the even digit (2, 4, 6, 8, 0) to heads (H) and the odd digit (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) to tails (T).
2. Use the list of random numbers provided: 9 1 9 7 2 3 9 8 0 0 4
3. Read each number from left to right and assign the corresponding outcome based on the even or odd digit:
- 9 is an odd digit, so it represents a tails (T) outcome.
- 1 is an odd digit, so it represents a tails (T) outcome.
- 9 is an odd digit, so it represents a tails (T) outcome.
- 7 is an odd digit, so it represents a tails (T) outcome.
- 2 is an even digit, so it represents a heads (H) outcome.
- 3 is an odd digit, so it represents a tails (T) outcome.
- 9 is an odd digit, so it represents a tails (T) outcome.
- 8 is an even digit, so it represents a heads (H) outcome.
- 0 is an even digit, so it represents a heads (H) outcome.
- 0 is an even digit, so it represents a heads (H) outcome.
- 4 is an even digit, so it represents a heads (H) outcome.
Combining these outcomes, you get the following sequence of heads (H) and tails (T):
T T T T H T H H H H H
T T T T H T T H H H H
T T T T H H T H H H H
T T T T H T T H H H T
T T T T H T T H H T H
