You and your brother always flip a special golden dollar coin to decide who gets to select the music when the two of you are in the car. The coin has come up heads (in your brother’s favor) on 8 of the last 10 flips.

Do 10 flips provide convincing evidence that your brother is using an unfair coin to gain an advantage?

Yes, the probability of flipping heads with a fair coin is 0.5. He should have gotten heads exactly 5 times.
No, there is no way to determine the probability of flipping heads.
Maybe, if the coin comes up tails on 8 of the next 10 flips, then he is using a fair coin.
No, 10 trials (flips) is not enough evidence to determine if the coin is fair. We would need many, many more flips to determine the true proportion of heads for this coin.

No, 10 trials (flips) is not enough evidence to determine if the coin is fair. We would need many, many more flips to determine the true proportion of heads for this coin.

Statement fourth "No, 10 trials (flips) is not enough evidence to determine if the coin is fair. We would need many, many more flips to determine the true proportion of heads for this coin" is correct.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that

shows the happening of the event.

We have:

You and your brother flip a special golden dollar coin to decide who gets to select the music when the two of you are in the car.

As we know the coin has two sides so

The total outcomes = 2

Then the probability of getting hear or tell is 1/2 or 0.5

If the coin has come up heads(in your brother's favor) on 8 of the last 10 flips.

Since the number of flips is too less for the evidence that your brother is using an unfair coin to gain an advantage.

Thus, statement fourth "No, 10 trials (flips) is not enough evidence to determine if the coin is fair. We would need many, many more flips to determine the true proportion of heads for this coin" is correct.
