We have the line AB,AB, which is of length 6.6. We want to build a quadrilateral ABCDABCD by choosing the lengths of BC,BC, CD,CD, and CA.CA. To determine the length of each side, we flip 44 fair coins and make the length of that side of the quadrilateral equal to 5+x,5 + x, where xx is the number of heads we get.

We run this procedure 1010 times and get the following lengths for BC,CD,BC, CD, and CA:CA:

5,6,75, 6, 7 6,7,86, 7, 8 6,6,66, 6, 6 7,7,77, 7, 7 8,5,68, 5, 6 9,5,59, 5, 5 6,6,66, 6, 6 8,9,78, 9 ,7 6,5,96, 5, 9 9,9,59, 9, 5

Based on this experimental data, what is the experimental probability of constructing a rhombus?
