Exercise 10.17. We flip a fair coin. If it is heads we roll 3 dice. If...
Exercise 1.16. We flip a fair coin five times. For every heads you pay me $1 and for every tails I pay you $1. Let X denote my net winnings at the end of five flips. Find the possible values and the probability mass function of X.
You flip a fair coin. On heads, you roll two six-sided dice. On tails, you roll one six-sided dice. What is the chance that you roll a 4? (If you rolled two dice, rolling a 4 means the sum of the dice is 4) O 1 2 3 36 1 2 1 6 + + 1 4 36 1 6 2 2 1 36 + -10 2 . 4 36 + 4 6 2 2
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...
Roll a fair die and denote the outcome by Y . Then flip Y many fair coins and let X denote the number of tails observed. Find the probability mass function and expectation of X.
We flip a coin. If it is heads we roll a four sided die with sides numbered from 1 to 4. If it is tails, we roll a six sided die with sides numbered from 1 to 6. We let X be the number rolled. (a) What is the expectation of X? (b) What is the variance of X? (c) What is the standard deviation of X? We draw cards one by one and with replacement from a standard deck...
(20pts) Problem 3. A pair of fair dice are cast, and the number of rolled dots, on each die, is recorded. Let X denote the difference of the two numbers (10pts)a. Find the probability mass function of X. b. Find the expected value E(X).
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)
Suppose we flip a fair coin n times. We say that the sequence is balanced when there are equal number of heads and tails. For example, if we flip the coin 10 times and the results are HT HHT HT T HH, then this sequence balanced 2 times, i.e. at position 2 and position 8 (after the second and eighth flips). In terms of n, what is the expected number of times the sequence is balanced within n flips?
Exercise 8.52. A fair coin is flipped 30 times. LetX denote the number of heads among the first 20 coin flips and Y denote the number of heads among the last 20 coin flips. Compute the correlation coefficient of X and I.
Shandelle rolls a pair of fair dice and sums the number of spots that appear on the up faces. She then flips a fair coin the number times associated with the sum of the spots. For example, if she rolled a 3 and a 4, then she flips the fair coin 7 times. If the coin flipping part of the random experiment yielded an equal number of heads and tails, find the probability that she rolled an 8 on the...
