Applet Exercise Refer to Exercises 9.9 and 9.10. How can the results of several sequences of

Bernoulli trials be simultaneously plotted? Access the applet PointbyPoint. Scroll down until you can view all six buttons under the top graph.

a  Do not change the value of p from the preset value = .5. Click the button “One Trial” a few times to verify that you are obtaining a result similar to those obtained in Exercise 9.9. Click the button “5 Trials” until you have generated a total of 50 trials. What is the value of \(\hat{p}_{50}\) that you obtained at the end of this first sequence of 50 trials?

b  Click the button “New Sequence.” The color of your initial graph changes from red to green. Click the button “5 Trials” a few times. What do you observe? Is the graph the same as the one you observed in part (a)? In what sense is it similar?

c  Click the button “New Sequence.” Generate a new sequence of 50 trials. Repeat until you have generated five sequences. Are the paths generated by the five sequences identical? In what sense are they similar?
