Stand a penny upright on its edge on a smooth, hard, level surface. Then spin the penny on its edge. To do this, gently place a finger on the top of the penny. Then snap the penny with another finger (and immediately remove the holding finger) so that the penny spins rapidly before falling. Repeat this experiment fifty times, and compute the relative frequency of heads. Discuss whether or not the outcomes of this experiment are equally likely.
