Zeer goede conclusie, het opmerken van een stijgende of dalende trend is inderdaad gewoon puur toeval. Het is ook duidelijk dat in de proportion of heads de grafiek naar het gemiddelde 0.5 gaat. De kans is dus 50-50, alleen lijkt dat in het begin misschien niet altijd zo.

juist uitgewerkt en een goede conclusie

Juiste conclusie en berekening.
De dalingen en stijgingen van het gesimuleerd experiment zijn inderdaad aan het toeval te wijten. Verder kon je nog vermelden dat bij de proportion of heads, de grafiek naar 0,5 gaat wat tot 50%-50% kans leidt voor kop of munt.
