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...
