We simulate this experiment by generating a logical array of length N, with 1 (true) for "heads" and 0 (false) for "tails". The problem is to generate the right number of 1s and 0s, so that the percentage of 1s is p (60%). We shall do so in two ways.
N=1000; // number of coin tosses p=0.6; // bias: percentage of 1s in the array Method 1Generate N observations from a uniform distribution on [0,1]. Threshold these observations at p. The resulting logical arraywill have 1 if an observation was < p, 0 otherwise.
MATLAB: Generate N observations from a uniform distribution on [0,1] and compare it to a threshold
