         Work with a friend.

         [I]  If you toss a coin 30 times, write how many times you think:

                 a  it will land heads up         b  it will land tails up.




                   Now experiment by tossing a coin 30 times.
                   Decide who will toss the coin and who will record each outcome.
                   Drop the coin on a thick pad of newspaper to keep it quiet!
                   Use a table like this, or design your own, and label it Experiment 1.
