   Build two sequences of H's (heads) and T's (tails) of 29 letters each. For the first sequence just write down some H's and T's (29 of them altogether) in what you consider a `random' manner. The second sequence should be a `truly random' sequence you can generate either by flipping a coin, or tossing a die, or using a random number generator in you calculator, or Table XII in your textbook. Copy both these sequences to your notes; we will need them later on.    solutions
