Tennis players often spin a racquet to decide who serves first. The spun racquet can land with the manufacturer’s label facing up or down. A reasonable question to investigate is whether a spun tennis racquet is equally likely to land with the label facing up or down. (If the spun racquet is equally likely to land with the label facing in either direction, we say that the spinning process is fair). Suppose that you gather data by spinning your tennis racquet 100 times, each time recording whether it lands with the label facing up or down. Required:
a. What are the observational units?
b. What is the variable?
c. Is the variable categorical or quantitative?
d. Describe how you would use coin flipping to simulate the 2012/2013 season under the assumption of chance
e. What would be a typical value from a repetition of 1,354 coin flips? Justify your answer.
