1) P( 2 heads)=2 heads/ total sample size for 3 coins = 4/8 = 1/2
2) P( 2 heads ia a row)=2 headsin a row/ total sample size for 3 coins = 3/8 = 3/8
3) 15/36 = 5/12
4) 3/36=1/12
Question 7 (4 points). Find the probabilities. Give your answers as fractions (1) You tossa fair...
of a fair coin. Also use the binomial formula and compare the two probabilities. For the normal approximation use z (x-H)/a, then use the tables, and for the binomial use (n C x) "(1-0) . Given heads is a success when we flip a coin, a six when we roll a die, and getting an ace when we select a card from a 52-card deck. Find the mean and std. deviation of the total number of successes when we (a)...
3) We roll 2 fair dice. a) Find the probabilities of getting each possible sum (i.e. find Pr(2), Pr(3), . Pr(12) ) b) Find the probability of getting a sum of 3 or 4 (i.e.find Pr(3 or 4)) c) Find the probability we roll doubles (both dice show the same value). d) Find the probability that we roll a sum of 8 or doubles (both dice show the same value). e) Is it more likely that we get a sum...
Suppose that we roll a fair die that has two faces numbered 1, two faces numbered 2, and two faces numbered 3. Then we toss a fair coin the number of times indicated by the number on the die and count the number of heads. How much information is obtained (on the average) by this procedure?
Question 4 (20 points) A box contains three coins, two fair coins and one two-headed coin. (a) You pick a coin at random and toss it. What is the probability that it lands heads up? (b) You pick a coin at random and toss it, and get heads. What is the probability that it is the two-headed coin?
On a single toss of a fair coin, the probability of heads is 0.5 and the probability of tails is 0.5. If you toss a coin twice and get heads on the first toss, are you guaranteed to get tails on the second toss? Explain.Explain why – 0.41 cannot be the probability of some event.Explain why 1.21 cannot be the probability of some event.Explain why 120% cannot be the probability of some event.Can the number 0.56 be the probability of...
Consider the setting where you first roll a fair 6-sided die, and then you flip a fair coin the number of times shown by the die. Let D refer to the outcome of the die roll (i.e., number of coin flips) and let H refer to the number of heads observed after D coin flips. (a) Suppose the outcome of rolling the fair 6-sided die is d. Determine E[H|d] and Var(H|d). (b) Determine E[H] and Var(H).

Suppose you have a six sided die. One face is printed with the number 1. Two faces are printed with the number 2. Three faces are printed with the number 3. You also have 3 coins: C_1, C_2, and C_3. C_1 will land Heads with probability 1/5. C_2 will land Heads with probability 1/3. C_3 will land Heads with probability 1/2. You roll the die. If the die lands with a...
You wish to see whether a coin is fair, so you toss it 4 times and get 2 Heads. Can you conclude the coin is fair?
