Use the coin flipping illustration to define dichotomous values and outcomes, and connect coin flipping to the notion of a sampling experiment.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Typically the two sides of a coin are referred to as heads and tails. We can think of heads and tails as two values of a qualitative variable. (When qualitative variables have two values we call them dichotomous variables.) Each time you flip a coin there are two possible outcomes, heads and tails. If the coin is fair, then both outcomes are equally likely. Therefore, flipping is one way to select one of the two possible outcomes randomly. We call the random selection of one of the possible values of the variable a sampling experiment. In a sampling experiment, each outcome has an equal chance of being selected.
