If the coin is unbalanced and a head has a 30% chance of occurring, find the joint probability distribution f(w, z)
A coin is tossed twice. Let Z denote the number of heads on the first toss and let W denote the total number of heads on the two tosses. If the coin is unbalanced and a head has a 30% chance of occurring, find the joint probability distribution f(w, z)

A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...

There are two steps in the description of this problem. First,
toss the coin until a head appears. Then, toss the coin until a
tail appears.
It is NOT "toss a coin until a head appears" problem.

An experiment consists of tossing an unfair coin (49% chance of landing on heads) a specified number of times and recording the outcomes. (a) What is the probability that the first head will occur on the second trial? (Use 4 decimal places.) Does this probability change if we toss the coin three times? What if we toss the coin four times? The probability changes if we toss the coin four times, but does not change if we toss the coin...
