Bear in mind that we have no idea what projects you are talking about. 
You might have the PDF at school but we don't even have that so you need 
to explain in detail what you are talking about.

When you say "input the ranges" what do you mean? Are you trying to read 
the range from a user? Or do you want to produce a range in your code? 
And do you need all of the numbers in the range? Or are you only testing 
against the max/min of the range? I can't tell from your description.

Do you know how to repeat an action a known number of times?
If so the number of tails is the total minus the number of heads.
Can you collect or count the number of heads?

Without sight of the demo codes that means nothing to us.

Do you know about while loops?

number_of_tries = 0
while number_of_tries < 5:
     do your loop stuff here
     number_of_tries = number_of_tries +1

Do you know about if statements?
Also you can combine tests in your while loop using boolean (or logical) 
operators like and, or and not.
Does that help?
