understand that theoretical outcomes are more closely approximated when the

At this site, students are to toss a coin 10, 100, 1000 and 10000
times. They should notice that the
higher the sample, the closer the results of heads and tails tossed. Following this, the hare takes on ‘heads’
and the tortoise takes on ‘tails’.
Students should refresh the screen, set the trials at 10000, and throw
the coins once. Move forward on the
board game accordingly (2 places for a win, 1 place for a tie). Repeat 10000 trials 3 more times, each
time moving your counter on the board game.
