Problem 0.2 Recall the Geometric(p) distribution where X-number of flips of a coin until you get a head (H) with Pr(H) -p. The distribution is Pr(X- (1-p)1p for 1,2,. , with mean E(X)x(1 - p)*-p- 1/p, which can be obtained by brute force. An easier way to find the mean is to condition on the first toss, say Y- 0or 1 if the first toss is T or H. Show the mean is 1/p using E(X) EE(X Y)
Recall the Geometric(p) distribution where X = number of flips of a coin until you get a head (H) with Pr(H) = p. The distribution is Pr(X = x) = (1 − p) (x−1) p for x = 1, 2, . . . , with mean E(X) = ∑ x=1∞ (x(1 − p) (x−1) p) = 1/p, which can be obtained by brute force.

Suppose we toss a coin (with P(H) p and P(T) 1-p-q) infinitely many times. Let Yi be the waiting time for the first head so (i-n)- (the first head occurs on the n-th toss) and Xn be the number of heads after n-tosses so (X·= k)-(there are k heads after n tosses of the coin). (a) Compute the P(Y> n) (b) Prove using the formula P(AnB) P(B) (c) What is the physical meaning of the formula you just proved? Suppose...
A discrete random variable X follows the geometric distribution with parameter p, written X ∼ Geom(p), if its distribution function is A discrete random variable X follows the geometric distribution with parameter p, written X Geom(p), if its distribution function is 1x(z) = p(1-P)"-1, ze(1, 2, 3, ). The Geometric distribution is used to model the number of flips needed before a coin with probability p of showing Heads actually shows Heads. a) Show that fx(x) is indeed a probability...
A fair coin is flipped independently until the first Heads is observed. Let the random variable K be the number of tosses until the first Heads is observed plus 1. For example, if we see TTTHTH, then K = 5. For k 1, 2, , K, let Xk be a continuous random variable that is uniform over the interval [0, 5]. The Xk are independent of one another and of the coin flips. LetX = Σ i Xo Find the...
