This project is a hands-on exploration of a classic probability scenario: analyzing a biased coin flip. Beyond its simplicity, this exercise demonstrates key statistical tools that build a foundation for more advanced quantitative analysis and decision-making under uncertainty.
Biased Coin Toss.ipynb— Interactive Jupyter Notebook with complete code, explanations, and visualizations.README.md— This overview.
Through this notebook, I practice and demonstrate:
✅ Simulating biased coin flips
✅ Applying Bayesian inference to update beliefs in real-time
✅ Constructing credible intervals
✅ Using Monte Carlo simulation for uncertainty estimation
✅ Implementing sequential analysis for evidence-based stopping rules
These techniques reflect core skills in probabilistic modeling, which are directly relevant in areas such as quantitative trading, algorithmic decision systems, and real-time risk management.
