You flip a coin 100 times. Let X= the number of heads in 100 flips. Assume we don’t know the probability, p, the coin lands on heads (we don’t know its a fair coin). So, let Y be distributed uniformly on the interval [0,1]. Assume the value of Y = the probability that the coin lands on heads.
So, we are given Y is uniformly distributed on [0,1] and X given Y=p is binomially distributed on (100,p).
Find E(X) and Var(X).
Hint: Will use either 1. Law of Total Expectation: E(X) = E[E(X|Y)] or 2. Law of Total Variance: Var(X) = E[Var(X|Y)] + Var[E(X|Y)]

You flip the same coin 90 mores times (100 total flips). If half of the 90 additional flips are heads (45 heads) and half are tails (45 tails), what is the empirical probability of getting a heads for this coin? (So there are the original 10 heads plus an additional 45 heads for a total of 55 heads in 100 flips) (You can give the answer as either a decimal or percent. Give the answer to two decimal places.)

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...

Assume that a coin is flipped where the probability of coin lands "Heads" is 0.49. The coin is flipped once more. This time, the probability of obtaining the first flip's result is 0.38. The random variable X is defined as the total number of heads observed in two flips. On the other hand, the random variable Y is defined as the absolute difference between the total number of heads and the total number of tails observed in two flips. Calculate...
