    Null Hypothesis: Coin is fair
    Alternate Hypothesis: Coin is biased
    p of heads in a fair coin = 0.5

    mean=n*p=1001*.5~500
    SD=sqrt(1001*p*(1-p))=15.81

    Zscore=(555-500)/15.81=3.47 standard deviation above mean

    The P-Value is .00026
    P-value less than significant level of 1%, reject Null hypothesis
    Coin is not fair
