Exact p-value

Use the One Proportion applet to confirm our results

Using the One Proportion applet below or follow the link to open in its own window:
  • Keep the Probability of heads set to 0.5.
  • Set the Number of Tosses to 10 to match the number of drops.
  • In the As Extreme As box enter 4
  • Push the inequality symbol to toggle to ≤
  • Check the Exact Binomial box

  • (g) Now find the "exact" (using the binomial model) p-value for 3 or fewer successes. Include a screen capture in your lab report. Comment on how the distribution compares to your earlier simulation results and how the p-values compare.
