here mean number of heads =np=100*0.5=50
and std deviation =(np(1-p))1/2 =(100*0.5*(1-0.5))1/2 =5
as 77 falls more than 3 standrd deviaiton from mean ; it is a highly unusual number of heads considering coin is fair.
therefore we can infer that coin is biased towards head,
8. Suppose you tossed a coin 100 times and got 77 heads and 23 tails. Does...
A coin is tossed 23 times, and the sequence of heads and tails is the outcome. A statistical test is conducted for the following hypotheses. H,: The coin is a fair coin. H,: The chance of obtaining a head is three time as the chance of obtaining a tail. The critical region for the test is the event “more than k heads”. Here k is a positive integer. If we want the power of the test to be at least...
Suppose you just flipped a fair coin 8 times in a row and you got heads each time! What is the probability that the next coin flip will result in a heads? Write answer as a decimal and round to 1 place after the decimal point.
Suppose that a coin with probability 0.7 of heads is tossed 100 times. Let X be the number of heads obtained. What is the probability of obtaining a streak of at least 15 consecutive heads in the 100 tosses?
One application of an absolute value inequality is the concept of the unfair coin. If a coin is tossed 100 times, we would expect approximately 50 of the tosses to be heads; however this is rarely the case.1. Toss a coin 100 times to test this hypothesis. Record the number of times the coin is heads and the number of times the coin is tails on the lines below. You may want to ask someone to tally the results of...
A coin is tossed 12 times. How many sequences with 6 heads and 6 tails are possible? Please explain it in detail. Thanks!
a. Suppose that a fair coin is tossed 15 times. If 10 heads are observed, determine an expression / equation for the probability that 7 heads occurred in the first 9 tosses. b. Now, generalize your result from part a. Now suppose that a fair coin is to be tossed n times. If x heads are observed in the n tosses, derive an expression for the probability that there were y heads observed in the first m tosses. Note the...
Flip a coin 10 times and record the observed number of heads and tails. For example, with 10 flips one might get 6 heads and 4 tails. Now, flip the coin another 20 times (so 30 times in total) and again, record the observed number of heads and tails. Finally, flip the coin another 70 times (so 100 times in total) and record your results again. We would expect that the distribution of heads and tails to be 50/50. How...
Suppose that a fair coin is tossed ten times. Each time it lands heads you win a dollar, and each time it lands tails you lose a dollar. Calculate the probability that your total winnings at the end of this game total two dollars, and the probability that your total winnings total negative two dollars.
9) A fair coin is tossed n times, coming up Heads Nh times and Tails Nr = n – Nh times. Let Sn = Nh – Nt. Use Cramer's Theorem to show that for 0 < a < 1, 1-1/2 lim n-> P(Sn. = ( + (1 - a)1-a
A coin is tossed, what is the probability that two consecutive heads or two consecutive tails occur in at most four tosses? Draw a tree diagram first.
