Using Simulation to Test the Fairness of a Coin

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a model is consistent with results using simulation. It begins with a problem of coin fairness, where a coin lands heads five times in a row. The lesson covers steps to test hypotheses, design simulations, and analyze results. It emphasizes that evidence can only be consistent with a hypothesis, not prove it. The tutorial demonstrates a simulation using random numbers to test the fairness of a coin, concluding that the coin is likely unfair.
