"Tegan is trying to decide if a coin is fair. She flips it 100 times and gets 63 heads. Please explain why it might make sense to view 63 heads as enough evidence to conclude the coin is unfair."

Answer:

Should be a 50/50 chance

Explanation:

When you flip a coin there are 2 possible chances, heads or tails. That means that out of 100 there should a 50/50 chance to get both. By Tegan getting 63 heads it show how the mentailty that it should be a perfect 50/50 chnace to get heads is not real and therefore not fair.

(but in real life this is what happens. Its not fair).
