Squeak: Flipping heads is 1/1024, and his Z-score of 3.16 is about 1 in 1268 (according to one online calculator). Z score is just a measure of how many standard deviations the result is from the mean, and it sounds about right.
His math is correct since he is doing it to 100 quarters, not 1 quarter.
