You toss a coin four times and get no heads. The p-value for the null hypothesis that the coin is fair is: Question options:
10%
25%
5%
6.25%
null hypothesis : coin is fair
therefore,
p-value = p(0 heads in 4 toss) = p(all tails)
= P(tails in fair coin)^4
= 0.5^4 {in fair coin p(tails) = 0.5}
= 0.625
= 6.25%
therefore p-value for null hypothesis that coin is fair = 6.25%
You toss a coin four times and get no heads. The p-value for the null hypothesis...
Suppose we toss a coin 100 times and get 48 heads. Clearly pˆ = X¯ = 0.48 A) Derive the (large sample) confidence interval for p, assuming the confidence level is 90% B) Test whether it is a fair coin assuming the significance level α = 0.05. Please write down the null hypothesis, the alternative hypothesis and the test statistics.
4. Toss a fair coin 6 times and let X denote the number of heads that appear. Compute P(X ≤ 4). If the coin has probability p of landing heads, compute P(X ≤ 3) 4. Toss a fair coin 6 times and let X denote the number of heads that appear. Compute P(X 4). If the coin has probability p of landing heads, compute P(X < 3).
15. How many possible combination outcomes consist of two heads when you toss a fair coin four times? (6.25 points) a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 7 e. None of these
How many times do you need to toss a fair coin in order to get 100 heads with probability at least 0.9?
You wish to see whether a coin is fair, so you toss it 4 times and get 2 Heads. Can you conclude the coin is fair?
Suppose that I toss a fair coin 100 times. Write 'p-hat' for the proportion of Heads in the 100 tosses. What is the approximate probability that p-hat is greater than 0.6? 0.460 0.023 0.540 We can't do the problem because we don't know the probability that the coin lands Heads uppermost 0.977
You toss a coin 1000 times The probability that a coin comes up heads 12 times in 12 tosses is
QUESTION 50 With a coin-toss, if it is heads you get $1 and if it is tails you get $11. If you are not willing to pay $6 for this gamble, you must be A)risk-neutral B)risk-averse C)risk-loving D)unlucky
11. What are the possible combination outcomes when you toss a fair coin three times? (6.25 points) H = Head, T = Tail a {HHH, TTT) Ob. (HHH, TTT, HTH, THT) c. {HHH, TTT, HTH, THT, HHT, TTH, THH) d. (HHH, TTT, HTH, THT, HHT, TTH, THH, HTT} e. None of these 12. What is the probability of you getting three heads straight for tossing a fair coin three times? (6.25 points) a. 1/2 OD. 1/4 C. 118 d. 1/16...
In order to test whether a certain coin is fair, it is tossed ten times and the number of heads (X) is counted. Let p be the "head probability". We wish to test the null hypothesis: p = 0.5 against the alternative hypothesis: p > 0.5 at a significance level of 5%. (a) Suppose we will reject the null hypothesis when X is smaller than h. Find the value of h. (b) What is the probability of committing a type...
