Jamal performed an experiment flipping a coin. He did 10 trials and then his arm got tired. He recorded his results in the table. Based on the experimental probability, Jamal predicted that the number of times the coin lands heads up will always be greater than the number of times it lands tails up. What is the error in his prediction?

Answer:

The error in his prediction is that he had too small of a sample size for the data to be reliable in how the trend would continue.
