(a)how would you find an experimental probability for tossing three coins and getting three heads?
You would toss three coins 1000 times and count the number of times three
heads occured, or you would simulate such an experiment with a calculator
or with some stat software.

(b)How would you compare an experimental probability for getting three heads to the theoretical probability?Would you expect the probabilities to be equal?Explain.
You would set up a Hypothesis Test with Ho stating p=1/2, Ha stating
p is not 1/2. Conduct an experiment with three coins arriving at a
test proportion of 3-head results. Then carry out the hypothesis test
steps to arrive at a conclusion.
