Prove Corollary.
In independent tosses of a coin, the coin landed on heads times. Is it reasonable to assume that the coin is not fair? Explain.
Two types of coins are produced at a factory: a fair coin and a biased one that comes up heads percent of the time. We have one of these coins but do not know whether it is a fair coin or a biased one. In order to ascertain which type of coin we have, we shall perform the following statistical test: We shall toss the coin times. If the coin lands on heads or more times, then we shall conclude that it is a biased coin, whereas if it lands on heads fewer than times, then we shall conclude that it is a fair coin.
