A bit string of length 10 is generated by flipping a coin 10 times (Head =1, Tail =0). If the coin is biased so that H is 3 times more likely to come than T, what is the probability that the string contains at most 3 zeroes
Homework Answers
This will be a binomial distribution with parameters:
n = 10, p = P(Tails) = 1/4
q = P(Heads) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
Hence,
P(Atleast 3 zeros)
= P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)
= 10C0 (1/4)0 (3/4)10 + 10C1 (1/4)1 (3/4)9 + 10C2 (1/4)2 (3/4)8 + 10C3 (1/4)3 (3/4)7
= 0.7759

A coin is tossed 100 times, each resulting in a tail (T) or a head (H). If a coin results in a head, Roy have to pay Slim 500$. If the coin results in a tail, Slim have to pay Roy 500$. What is the probability that Slim comes out ahead more than $20,000?

Question is are X and Y independent? Why?
1. Consider flipping a fair coin three times and observe whether it lands heads up or tails up. Let X the number of switches from either head to tail or vice versa. For example, when THT is observed, the number of switches is 2 and when HHH is observed, the number of switches is 0. Also, let Y be the number of tails shown in the three times of flipping.

Since a coin is weighted, tails is more likey. When you test the coin by flipping it 10 times, you observe that tails comes up 9 times. How likely is it that such extreme behavior would occur in a fair coin?(In other words, assuming that the coin is fair, what is the probability of getting tails 9 or 10 times?)
