Suppose we flip a coin three times, thereby forming a sequence of heads and tails. Form a random vector by mapping each outcome in the sequence to 0 if a head occurs or to 1 if a tail occurs. (a) How many realizations of the vector may be generated? List them. (b) Are the realizations independent of one another?

2) with parameter λ = 2. Now, we have a unbiased coin. We throw it. If we get tail, we take the number X. If we get head we take 3 times X. The result is called Z. What is the probability density of Z. (Read up about the probability density of exponential variable online). So, in other words, we generate a random number X which is exponential with parameter λ 2, then, we flip a coin. When we get...

1. Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answers a) You flip a coin 100,000 times and record the outcome in a Xi 1 if the toss is "Heads" and 0 if its "Tails. The Law of Large Numbers says that: i. ii. It is impossible for the first n flips to all be "Heads" if n is large. With high probability, the share of coin flips that are "Heads" will approximate 50%. The sample mean of X is always 0.5...

Suppose you toss an unfair coin 8 times independently. The probability ofgetting a head is 0.3. Denote the outcome to be 1 if you get a head and 0 if a tail. (i) Write down the sample space Ω. (ii) What is the probability of the event that you get a head or a tail at least once? (iii) If you get eight same toss's you will get x dollars, otherwise you will lose 1 dollar. On average, how large...
