Answers ( No )

  1. Null_hyp : Coin in biased
    Alter_Hyp : Coin in Unbiased

    Probability = 560/1000 = .56
    Standard Error = under_root( (0.56)(1-0.56)/1000 = 0.015

    z_val = 0.56-0.50/0.015 = 4
    and with 5% of error rate value is 1.6 and 4 lies outside, hence we reject the null_hyp or Coin in Unbiased
