1. Suppose the probability experiment is to flip five
coins.
(a) What is the chance all five coins will land heads?
(b) What is the chance that zero will land heads?
(c)What is the chance at least one will land heads?

Suppose that you flip five fair coins and roll three fair dices at the same time and all the events are independent. (a) What is the probability that exactly two coins land heads up and one dice shows a six? (b) What is the probability that at least four coins land heads up and two dices show a number less than three? (c) What is the probability that the total number of heads is an even-number and the addition of...
Mysterioso the Magician is walking down the street with a box containing 25 identical looking coins: 24 are fair coins (which flip heads with probability 0.5 and tails with probability 0.5) and one is a trick coin which alwavs flips heads. Renata the Fox skillfully robs Mysterioso of one of the coins in his box (chosen uniformly at random). She decides she will flip the coin k times to test if it is the trick coin. (a) What is the...
Help Please Suppose you roll a six-sided die and flip three coins. What is the chance that the die will come up as an even number and you'll get at least one heads? Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1, rounded to two decimal places
2. Mysterioso the Magician is walking down the street with a box containing 25 identical looking coins: 24 are fair coins (which flip heads with probabilty 0.5 and tails with probability 0.5) and one is a trick coin which always flips heads. Renata the Fox skillfully robs Mysterioso of one of the coins in his box (chosen uniformly at random). She decides she will flip the coin k times to test if it is the trick coin (a) What is...
Problem 4. Five coins are flipped. The first four coins will land on heads with probability 1/4. The fifth coin is a fair coin. Assume that the results of the flips are independent. Let X be the total number of heads that result Hint: Condition on the last flip. (a) Find P(X2) (b) Determine E[X] S.20
Suppose you flip three fair, mutually independent coins. Define the following events: Let A be the event that the first coin is heads. Let B be the event that the second coin is heads. Let C be the event that the third coin is heads. Let D be the event that an even number of coins are heads. Determine the probability space for this experiment (build the probability tree). Using the probability tree, find the probability of each of the...
Suppose that you flip 4 coins. How many items are in the sample space? 16 What is the probability that all four coins come up heads? (Write your answer numerator/denominator) 4/16 What is the probability that you get exactly 2 heads? 2/16
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are flipping coins. Guildenstern has a bag with 100 coins in it. All of them are fair coins, except for 10 that each have heads on both sides and 2 that each have tails on both sides. Guildenstern reaches into the bag without looking, removes a randomly chosen coin, with each of the 100 coins equally likely, and flips it. Give exact answers expressed as simplified fractions. (a) What is the probability that it is one of...
Problem 2 Suppose you flip a penny and a dime. Each coin is equally likely to come up heads and tails. The two flips are independent a) What is the sample space? b) What is the conditional probability that both coins come up heads, given that the penny comes up heads? c) What is the conditional probability that both coins come up heads, given that at least one of the coins comes up heads? (Hint: the answers in part (b)...
You have five coins in your pocket. You know a priori that one coin gives heads with probability 0.4, and the other four coins give heads with probability 0.7 You pull out one of the five coins at random from your pocket (each coin has probability 릊 of being pulled out), and you want to find out which of the two types of coin it is. To that end, you flip the coin 6 times and record the results X1...
