Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.4P
Consider the toss of four coins. There are 24 possible outcomes of a single toss. Develop a histogram of the number of heads (one side of the coin) that can appear on any toss. Does it look like a normal distribution? Should this be expected? What is the probability that three heads will appear on any toss?

Home Internet Access In a recent year, a study found that 78% of adults ages 18-29 had internet access at home. A researcher wanted to estimate the
proportion of undergraduate college students (18-29 years) with access, so she randomly sampled 188 undergraduates and found that 161 had access.
Estimate the true proportion with 99% confidence. Round intermediate answers to five decimal places. Round your final answer to one decimal place.
