35. You and I play the following game: I toss a coin repeatedly. The coin is...
Problem 2: Tails and (Heads or Tails?) Alice and Bob play a coin-tossing game. A fair coin (that is a coin with equal probability of 1. The coin lands 'tails-tails' (that is, a tails is immediately followed by a tails) for the first 2. The coin lands 'tails-heads (that is, a tails is immediately followed by a heads) for the landing heads and tails) is tossed repeatedly until one of the following happens time. In this case Alice wins. first...
Suppose you flip a fair coin repeatedly until you see a Heads followed by another Heads or a Tails followed by another Tails (i.e. until you see the pattern HH or TT). (a)What is the expected number of flips you need to make? (b)Suppose you repeat the above with a weighted coin that has probability of landing Heads equal to p.Show that the expected number of flips you need is 2+p(1−p)/1−p(1−p)
Problem 8. 20 pts] I have a special coin with "memory" that I will be tossing ezactly once every day for the next 4 days (so tomorrow will be day 1). Let p, denote the probability that the coin shows up heads when it's tossed on day i (this means it shows up tails with probability 1 -pi when tossed on day i). Did I mention the coin has "memory"? By that I mean that: 1. On day 1, the...
If you are playing a coin toss game and following is the payoff table Result Payoff Heads Get $25 Tails Lose $25 Assume that you have $100, after you play the game once, how much money will you have? A.$100 since the expected payoff of this game is 0. B. $125 OR $75 C. $625 since the variance of the payoff is 625 D. not enough information
question B needs more explaination Challenge Problem: Suppose that we toss a biased coin repeatedly with p being the probability of heads and q = 1 - p being the probability of tails. In this exercise we will compute the probability that there is a run of m heads in a row before there is a run of s tails in a row and express the probability in terms of p, q, m and n. (a) (1pt) Verify the following...
Stacy and George are playing the heads or tails game with a fair coin. The coin is flipped repeatedly until either the fifth heads or the fifth tails appears. If the fifth heads occurs first, Stacy wins the game. Otherwise, George is the winner. Suppose that after the fifth flip, three heads and two tails have occurred. What is the probability that Stacy wins this game?
in a game, you toss a fair coin and a fair six sided die. if you toss a heads on the coin and roll either a 3 or a 6 on the die, you win $30. otherwise, you lose $6. what is the expected profit of one round of this game
This is discrete mathematics If you do it right, I must give praise. You must use probability space is a triple relative acknowledge. S: is a sample sapce E=p(s) is the set of all events P: E-->R is a function. The important thing that I need to say three times: If you don't know how to do it, please don't do it. don't copy others, especially for question (a), give sample space, probability measure The important thing that I need...
5. You play a game using an unfair coin. Suppose that each time the coin is tossed, the probability of showing "head" is 1/3 and the probability of showing "tail" is 2/3. Also suppose that each time the coin shows head you win 10 dollars and you lose 3 dollars when it shows tail. How much money do you expect to win when the coin is tossed 10 times?
c++ Program 2: Coin Toss Simulator For this program, please implement Problems 12 and 13 in a single program (Gaddis, p812, 9E). Scans of these problems are included below. Your program should have two sections that correspond to Problems 12 and 13: 1) As described in Problem 12, implement a Coin class with the specified characteristics. Run a simulation with 20 coin tosses as described and report the information requested in the problem. 2) For the second part of your...
