What would a penny weigh picked up from the sidewalk? Odds would be greater for it to be from a year after 1982 so it would likely weigh 2.5 grams. There’s a 63% chance that a randomly chosen penny will be after 1982
What would a 1908 penny weigh? 3.11 grams
What would a 1793 penny weigh? Chain penny-13.48 grams, wreath penny-13.5 grams.
Our presentation won I think based off the fact that we had the most relevant presentation. We stuck to the questions at hand and didn’t place in all the random penny facts like other groups did in their presentations. We also conducted our own study by weighing and counting out a random set of pennies to determine the chance of finding a random penny with a year after 1982 or before.
