Coin Toss Simulation Task

Example: Probability of Outcomes for 10,000,000 Coin Tosses

About the Coin Toss Simulation Task

The Coin Toss Simulation task simulates the tossing of a specified number of coins. The results show the frequency and percentage of occurrences that the coin displays heads given a specified number of tosses.

Example: Probability of Outcomes for 10,000,000 Coin Tosses

Setting Options

Option Name	Description
Observations
Number of coins	specifies the number of coins to toss.
Number of tosses	specifies the number of times to toss the coins.
Output Data Set
Data set name	specifies the name of the output data set.
Show graph table	displays the results in a graph format. You can specify whether to include grid lines, gradient fill, and data skin on the graph. Note: This option is available only if the number of coins is 30 or less.
