    When one student have tossed her coin for 200 times, the sampling distribution model used is

    Normal with mean (sub p-hat) = p=0.5; sigma (sub p-hat) = (root) pq/n=0.0354

    Her trial proportion of p-hat=.42 is about 2.26 standard deviations below the expected proportion, which is unusual, but not surprising.

    Based to the Normal model, the expected sample sizes is low or lower about 1.2% of the time.

    For 200 flips, the sampling distribution model is Normal with mean (sub p-hat) = p=0.5;

    sigma (sub p-hat) = (root) pq/n

    =0.0354

    Her sample proportion of p-hat=42% = 0.42

    which is about 2.26 standard deviations below the expected proportion,

    which is unusual, but not extraordinary.

    According to the Normal model, we expect sample proportions this low or lower about 1.2% of the time.
