a fair coin is tossed until either a head turns up or 3 tosses are made. let x be no of heads which occur and let y be no of tails. find expected value and variance of x and y
a fair coin is tossed until either a head turns up or 3 tosses are made....
17. A fair coin is tossed until either one Heads or four Tails are obtained. What is the expected number of tosses? [6 points]
A coin with probability p of heads is tossed until the first head occurs. It is then tossed again until the first tail occurs. Let X be the total number of tosses required. (i) Find the distribution function of X. (ii) Find the mean and variance of X
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.
A coin with probability p is tossed until the first head occurs. It is then tossed again until the first tail occurs. Let X be the total number of tosses required. 1) Find the distribution function of X. 2) Find the mean and variance of X.
A fair coin is tossed 9 times.(A) What is the probability of tossing a tail on the 9th toss, given that the preceding 8 tosses were heads?(B) What is the probability of getting either 9 heads or 9 tails?(A) What is the probability of tossing a tail on the 9th toss, given that the preceding 8 tosses were heads?(B) What is the probability of getting either 9 heads or 9 tails?
A fair coin is tossed 20 times. Let X be the number of heads thrown in the first 10 tosses, and let Y be the number of heads tossed in the last 10 tosses. Find the conditional probability that X = 6, given that X + Y = 10.
A fair coin is tossed 20 times. Let X be the number of heads thrown in the first 10 tosses, and let Y be the number of heads tossed in the last 10 tosses. Find the conditional probability that X = 6, given that X + Y = 10.
Suppose that a coin is tossed three times. We assume that a coin is fair, so that the heads and tails are equally likely. Probability that two heads are obtained in three tosses given that at least one head is obtained in three tosses is ___________ Probability that that one head is obtained in three tosses given that at most one head is obtained in three tosses is ____________ at least one means one or more, at most one means...
A coin flip: A fair coin is tossed three times. The outcomes of the three tosses are recorded. Round your answers to four decimal places if necessary. Part 1 out of 3 Assuming the outcomes to be equally likely, find the probability that all three tosses are "Tails." The probability that all three tosses are "Tails" is
4. A fair two-sided coin is tossed repeatedly. (a) Find the expected number of tails until the first head is flipped. (b) Find the probability that there are exactly 5 heads in the first 10 flips. (c) Use the central limit theorem/normal approximation to approximate the probability that in the first 100 flips, between 45 and 55 of the flips are heads.
