1. Flipping Coins in Excel: Enter =RAND() into cell A2
2. Recalculate the random variable with the key combination fn+F9 (Also whenever a cell’s content is edited it recalculates)
3. Enter =IF(A2<0.5,”Heads”,”Tails”) into cell B2
4. Copy down to simulate 20 independent coin tosses
5. Enter =IF(B2=”Heads”, 1, 0) into cell C2 and copy down to C21
6. Count total and number of tosses and total number of heads (Calculate probability of heads versus the average of column C)
7. Changing the Probability: Enter 0.75 into cell E4
8. Change cell B2 to: =IF(A2<$E$4,"Heads","Tails") and copy down
