  1. Deng wishes to test whether a certain coin is biased so that it is more likely to show Heads than Tails. He throws it 12 times. If it shows Heads more than 9 times, he will conclude that the coin is biased. Calculate the significance level of the test.
  2. Deng throws another coin 100 times in order to test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether it is biased towards Heads. Find the rejection region for this test.
