3. (PMF – 8 points) Consider a sequence of independent trials of fair coin tossing. Let X denote a random variable that indicates the number of coin tosses you tried until you get heads for the first time and let y denote a random variable that indicates the number of coin tosses you tried until you get tails for the first time. For example, X = 1 and Y = 2 if you get heads on the first try and...

The PMF of the experiment that records the number of heads in four flips of a coin, which can be obtained with the R commands attach (expand.grid (X1=0:1, X2=0:1, X3=0:1, X4=0:1)); table(X1+X2+X3+X4)/length(X1), is x 0 1 2 3 4 p(x) 0.0625 0.25 0.375 0.25 0.0625 Thus, if the random variable X denotes the number of heads in four flips of a coin then the probability of, for example, two heads is P(X = 2) = p(2) = 0.375. What is...
