*** FAIR COIN TOSSING QUESTION 2 ***
Thanks for your response.
I guess it depends of the degree of acceptible variation
allowed for the first sample of 700 tosses of the coin.
If the variance is within the limits, even if just under
the extreme limit, then it is still considered random.
My next question is if heads continued to show variation
just under the extreme acceptible upper limits and tails
continues to show variation just above the extreme lowest
acceptable limits on a continued basis say for another
1000 tosses or more, it the coin still fair ?
