title: [Statistics (4). Tossing for decision making: one sample, dichotomy].
abstract: A coin, suspected to be biased, may be distinguished from a fair one by tossing it a number of times and applying the binomial test. Taking into account the probabilities of all possible outcomes (the theoretical sampling distribution), a too large occurrence of heads (or tails) will lead to rejection of the null hypothesis implying that the coin is not fair.
