Another way to study order and disorder is to toss pennies. Predict in advance which is the more likely occurrence when tossing three pennies: having the pennies ordered with all the same orientation (all heads or all tails) or having them disordered (not all the same). Show that the ordered result includes two out of eight possibilities, while the disordered result includes six out of eight. Toss the three pennies 100 times to see how close you come to this prediction. Repeat the process for four pennies (The all-the-same result should be expected two times in sixteen throws.)
