4. Suppose that I flip a penny and a nickel, each coin is equally likely to come up heads and tails, and the two flips are independent Part a: What is the conditional probability that both coins come up heads, given that the penny came up heads? Part b: What is the conditional probability that both coins come up heads, given that (at least) one of the coins came up heads? Hint: The answers to the two parts here are...
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are flipping coins. Guildenstern has a bag with 100 coins in it. All of them are fair coins, except for 10 that each have heads on both sides and 2 that each have tails on both sides. Guildenstern reaches into the bag without looking, removes a randomly chosen coin, with each of the 100 coins equally likely, and flips it. Give exact answers expressed as simplified fractions. (a) What is the probability that it is one of...
2. Mysterioso the Magician is walking down the street with a box containing 25 identical looking coins: 24 are fair coins (which flip heads with probabilty 0.5 and tails with probability 0.5) and one is a trick coin which always flips heads. Renata the Fox skillfully robs Mysterioso of one of the coins in his box (chosen uniformly at random). She decides she will flip the coin k times to test if it is the trick coin (a) What is...
Problem 1 (5 points) A coin is flipped four times. Assume that each of the sixteen possible outcomes {0000, 1000, 0100, 1100, 0010, 1010, 0110, 1110, 0001, 1001,0101, 1101,0011, 1011, 0111, 1111} are equally likely. What is the conditional probability that all flips are heads, given the following information: (a) the first flip is heads? (b) the last flip is heads? (©) at least one flip is heads? (d) at least two flips are heads? (e) the first flip and...
You have a biased coin, where the probability of flipping a heads is 70%. You flip once, and the coin comes up tails. What is the expected number of flips from that point (so counting that as flip #0) until the number of heads flipped in total equals the number of tails?
Mysterioso the Magician is walking down the street with a box containing 25 identical looking coins: 24 are fair coins (which flip heads with probability 0.5 and tails with probability 0.5) and one is a trick coin which alwavs flips heads. Renata the Fox skillfully robs Mysterioso of one of the coins in his box (chosen uniformly at random). She decides she will flip the coin k times to test if it is the trick coin. (a) What is the...
One day, you are playing around with the change in your pocket. You decide to flip one coin and then you decide to flip two coins. Remember, a coin can land on either heads or tails and each coin flip is independent. Calculate the following probabilities: One Coin Flip Probabilities: P (heads) = P (tails) = Two Coin Flips Probabilities: P (of at least one heads) = P (of at least one tails) = P (heads and heads) = P...
Q.1 (25') Pony is playing coin tossing game with Yanny. They found the coin have 4 heads and 6 tails in 10 flips. Let p be the probability for obtaining a head, based on the first 10 flips a) Can we conclude it is a biased or fair coin base on the result above? b) Plot the Bernoulli's PMF What is the probability for obtaining 6 heads in 10 flips using the same coin? d) What is the probability for...
You toss a penny and observe whether it lands heads up or tails up. Suppose the penny is fair, i.e., the probability of heads is 1/2 and the probability of tails is y. This means every occurrence of a head must be balanced by a tail in one of the next two or three tosses. if I flip the coin many, many times, the proportion of heads will be approximately %, and this proportion will tend to get closer and...
Problem 6 A box contains 4 coins: • coin 1 has both sides heads. • coin 2 has both sides tails. • coin 3 has both sides tails. • coin 4 is a regular coin (1 side head, other side tails). (a)(3 points) If we randomly choose one coin from the box and flip, what is the probability we get heads? (b)(3 points) If we randomly choose one coin, flip, and it comes up heads, what is the probability it...
