Using the table for many repetitions of the experiment of tossing a coin 10 times, what is the mean number of heads in 50 repetitions of this experiment and 1,000 repetitions, and which of these sample means is closer to the population mean?
 

Number of Heads        0  1  2   3       4    5       6      7     8   9  10

In 50 Repetitions         0  0  1   5       9    16    10     6     2   1    0

In 200 Repetitions       0  2  8   22    38   55    41     24   9   1    0

In 500 Repetitions       2  5  24  57   111 111  110   56   21    3   0

In 1,000 Repetitions    1  8  43 117  207 248  203 121 45    6   1

 

 

A x= 5.2, 5.002; 1,000 repetitions are closer to the population mean

B x= 5.1, 4.983; 1,000 repetitions are closer to the population mean

C x= 4.8, 4.998; 50 repetitions are closer to the population mean

D x= 4.9, 4.965; 50 repetitions are closer to the population mean
