Poll Results

Poll 563: After this poll closes I will toss a coin. Heads or tails?

Total votes: 2576

Heads: 1293 (50.2%)  
Tails: 1283 (49.8%)

Well that's interesting. This time the results are close enough that they actually fit the hypothesis that heads and tails are equally likely. The binomial probability that from 2576 fair coin tosses you will see 1293 or more heads is almost 43%, which in statistical terms means there is no significant evidence for any bias whatsoever in these results.

Compare and contrast the results of Poll 561.

Oh, I suppose I should actually toss a coin now and tell you the result...

Tails. (And if you're curious, it's a different coin. I think I spent the first one.)
