Re: [math-fun] how to test whether a coin is fair

Now this is moving beyond just testing the fairness of a coin, and into testing the fairness of the coin tossing process.   --  Gene From: David Makin <makinmagic@tiscali.co.uk> To: math-fun <math-fun@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, March 4, 2016 3:06 PM Subject: Re: [math-fun] how to test whether a coin is fair I'd guess that you'd actually have to check the evenness of all sample rates, not just a "1" and a "0" but also "00" vs. "01" vs. "10" vs. "11" and "000" vs."001" etc............... i.e, use the same check as for checking the randomness of a pseudo random generator.
