A fair coin is tossed 20 times. Let X be the number of heads thrown in the first 10 tosses, and let Y be the number of heads tossed in the last 10 tosses. Find the conditional probability that X = 6, given that X + Y = 10.

a. Suppose that a fair coin is tossed 15 times. If 10 heads are observed, determine an expression / equation for the probability that 7 heads occurred in the first 9 tosses. b. Now, generalize your result from part a. Now suppose that a fair coin is to be tossed n times. If x heads are observed in the n tosses, derive an expression for the probability that there were y heads observed in the first m tosses. Note the...
a fair coin is tossed three times. A. give the sample space B. find the probability exactly two heads are tossed C. Find the probability all three tosses are heads given that the last toss is heads
A defective coin minting machine produces coins whose probability of heads is a random variable P with PDF peP, p [0,1], otherwise fp(p) A coin produced by this machine is selected and tossed repeatedly, with successive tosses assumed independent. (a) Find the probability that a coin toss results in heads. (b) Given that a coin toss resulted in heads, find the conditional PDF of P (c) Given that a first coin toss resulted in heads, find the conditional probability of...
A fair coin is tossed 9 times.(A) What is the probability of tossing a tail on the 9th toss, given that the preceding 8 tosses were heads?(B) What is the probability of getting either 9 heads or 9 tails?(A) What is the probability of tossing a tail on the 9th toss, given that the preceding 8 tosses were heads?(B) What is the probability of getting either 9 heads or 9 tails?
Suppose that a fair coin is tossed ten times. Each time it lands heads you win a dollar, and each time it lands tails you lose a dollar. Calculate the probability that your total winnings at the end of this game total two dollars, and the probability that your total winnings total negative two dollars.
