Biologie für Einsteiger: Prinzipien des Lebens verstehen

The average American consumes the equivalent of one stick of butter per day—about 100 pounds of fat per year—which may be part of the reason why the average American is overweight.
Every time you flip the coin, the chance that it will land, say, heads up, is one in two (1/2)—a probability of 50 percent. However, when you actually flip the coin, it often lands heads up, or tails up, several times in a row. With just 10 flips, the proportion of times that heads actually land up may be very far from 50 percent. With 1,000 flips, that proportion is more likely to be near 50 percent. An experimental result is said to be statistically significant if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance.
