The PMF of the experiment that records the number of heads in four flips of a coin, which can be obtained with the R commands attach (expand.grid (X1=0:1, X2=0:1, X3=0:1, X4=0:1)); table(X1+X2+X3+X4)/length(X1), is
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
p(x) | 0.0625 | 0.25 | 0.375 | 0.25 | 0.0625 |
Thus, if the random variable X denotes the number of heads in four flips of a coin then the probability of, for example, two heads is P(X = 2) = p(2) = 0.375. What is P(X ≥ 2), that is, the probability that the number of heads will be at least 2?

Question 3. Define X as the number of heads observed in an experiment that flips a balanced coin 3 times. Calculate: a) The expected value of X. b) The probability that X 2 c) The probability that X22
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
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...
A fair coin is tossed until heads appears four times. a) Find the probability that it took exactly 10 flips. b) Find the probability that it took at least10 flips. c) Let Y be the number of tails that occur. Find the pmf of Y.
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...
In a game, a person flips a fair coin twice, and based on the number of heads observed, he will be allowed to shoot so many times (equal to the number of heads observed) on a target. Assume the probability of hitting a target in one shot is 0.25. If the person obtained two heads, what is the probability of hitting the target only once? [The answer should be a number rounded to five decimal places, don't use symbols such...
Let X equal to the number of heads after 4 flips of a fair coin? Derive the probability mass function for X, and plot it. Also, compute the E[X] of X.
3 Probability and Statistics [10 pts] Consider a sample of data S obtained by flipping a coin five times. X,,i e..,5) is a random variable that takes a value 0 when the outcome of coin flip i turned up heads, and 1 when it turned up tails. Assume that the outcome of each of the flips does not depend on the outcomes of any of the other flips. The sample obtained S - (Xi, X2,X3, X, Xs) (1, 1,0,1,0 (a)...
