The goal in this project is to generate a sequence of coin flips that seems as random as possible. Remember, the LOWER your score, the better! By the way, you can press the H and T keys on your keyboard if you don't want to have to move your mouse around. ----- Share your results ----- If you get a low score, comment it! ----- Experiment ----- 1. What happens when you enter an alternating sequence? (i. e. "H T H T H T H T...") 2. What happens when you enter a sequence where the first item is an H and all the rest are T's? 3. What happens when you enter a sequence generated by a random number generator like https://random.org? ----- Note ----- The statistics of randomness is a very unique field, and it is impossible to tell with absolute certainty whether a sequence was generated randomly or not. ----- Compete ----- Go here to see what the most recent users of this project scored: https://scratch.mit.edu/cloudmonitor/710921976/ ----- Statistical details ----- To gauge the randomness of your sequence, the project uses the statistical Runs Test. Based on the z-value of the Runs Test, it generates a score x such that the null hypothesis (that the sequence was produced randomly) is rejected when x > 100 (z < 1.96).

I first learned about easings.net from @Turtsles.
