4. You toss n coins, each showing heads with probability p, independently of the other tosses....
A defective coin minting machine produces coins whose probability of heads is a random variable P with PDF peP, p [0,1], otherwise fp(p) A coin produced by this machine is selected and tossed repeatedly, with successive tosses assumed independent. (a) Find the probability that a coin toss results in heads. (b) Given that a coin toss resulted in heads, find the conditional PDF of P (c) Given that a first coin toss resulted in heads, find the conditional probability of...
A coin with probability p of heads is tossed until the first head occurs. It is then tossed again until the first tail occurs. Let X be the total number of tosses required. (i) Find the distribution function of X. (ii) Find the mean and variance of X
A biased coin is tossed n times. The probability of heads is p and the probability of tails is q and p=2q. Choose all correct statements. This is an example of a Bernoulli trial n-n-1-1-(k-1) p'q =np(p + q)n-1 = np f n- 150, then EX), the expected value of X, is 100 where X is the number of heads in n coin tosses. f the function X is defined to be the number of heads in n coin tosses,...
2. In your pocket is a random number N of coins, where N has the Poisson distribution with parameter . You toss each coin once, with heads showing with probability p each time. Show that the total number of heads has the Poisson distribution with parameter Ap.
Q3. Suppose we toss a coin until we see a heads, and let X be the number of tosses. Recall that this is what we called the geometric distribution. Assume that it is a fair coin (equal probability of heads and tails). What is the p.m.f. of X? (I.e., for an integer i, what is P(X=i)? What is ?[X]? ({} this is a discrete variable that takes infinitely many values.)
9.74. Suppose we toss a biased coin independently until we get two heads or two tails in total. The coin produces a head with probability p on any toss. 1. What is the sample space of this experiment? 2. What is the probability function? 3. What is the probability that the experiment stops with two heads?
A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...
A machine produces coins such that the probability of heads, p, follows a Beta distribution with parameters (α, β) = (1, 1). A coin produced by this machine is picked at random and tossed independently n times. Let Y be the number of heads. (a) Find E[Y]. (b) Write down the pmf for Y (your answer can include unevaluated integrals and combination numbers [aka “n choose m” symbols]).
======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================= There are two steps in the description of this problem. First, toss the coin until a head appears. Then, toss the coin until a tail appears. It is NOT "toss a coin until a head appears" problem. ======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================= A coin with probability p of heads is tossed until the first head occurs. It is then tossed again until the first tail occurs. Let X be the total number of tosses required (i) Find the distribution function of X (ii)...

What is the theoretical probability the first toss is heads AND the next eleven are tails? a. P(all twelve tosses are tails)equals StartFraction 1 Over 4096 EndFraction (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) b. P(first toss is heads and next eleven tosses are tails)equals nothing (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
