Problem 2 Suppose you flip a penny and a dime. Each coin is equally likely to come up heads and tails. The two flips are independent a) What is the sample space? b) What is the conditional probability that both coins come up heads, given that the penny comes up heads? c) What is the conditional probability that both coins come up heads, given that at least one of the coins comes up heads? (Hint: the answers in part (b)...
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...
Answer part a and part b please!!! (a) What is the conditional probability that exactly four Tails appear w when a fair coin is flipped six times, given that the first flip came up Heads? (I.e. the coin , then is flipped five more times with Tails appearing exactly lour times.) (b) What if the coin is biased so that the probability of landing Heads is 1/3? (Hint: The binomial distribution might be helpful here.) (a) What is the conditional...
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...
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...
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...
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...
3. (20 pts.) Jack has three coins C1. C2, and Cs with p. Pp2, and ps as their corresponding p1, p2, and p3 as their corresponding 3 Wit probabilities of landing heads. Jack flips coin C1 twice and then decides, based on the outcomes, whether to flip coin C2 or C3 next: if the two C1 flips come out the same, Jack flips coin C2 three times; if the two C1 flips come out different, Jack flips coin C3 three...
