Suppose two people flip a coin three times. Let X1, X2 denote the number of tails flipped by the first and second person. Find the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
P(X1=0)= 1/2×1/2×1/2 =1/8
P(X1=1)= 3/8
P(X1=2)= 3/8
P(X1=3)= 1/8
Similar distribution for X2
E(x)= = 3/8 + 2×3/8 +3×1/8 = 12/8 = 1.5

A fair coin is flipped until the first head appears. Let X= the total number of times the coin is flipped. Find E(x). Hint:if the first flip is tails, this "game" restarts.
Answer part a and part b please!!! (a) What is the conditional probability that exactly four Tails appear w when a fair coin is flipped six times, given that the first flip came up Heads? (I.e. the coin , then is flipped five more times with Tails appearing exactly lour times.) (b) What if the coin is biased so that the probability of landing Heads is 1/3? (Hint: The binomial distribution might be helpful here.) (a) What is the conditional...
Flip a coin 10 times and record the observed number of heads and tails. For example, with 10 flips one might get 6 heads and 4 tails. Now, flip the coin another 20 times (so 30 times in total) and again, record the observed number of heads and tails. Finally, flip the coin another 70 times (so 100 times in total) and record your results again. We would expect that the distribution of heads and tails to be 50/50. How...
Stacy and George are playing the heads or tails game with a fair coin. The coin is flipped repeatedly until either the fifth heads or the fifth tails appears. If the fifth heads occurs first, Stacy wins the game. Otherwise, George is the winner. Suppose that after the fifth flip, three heads and two tails have occurred. What is the probability that Stacy wins this game?
please write clear and show work 19. A coin is flipped 10 times where each flip comes up either heads or tails. How many possible outcomes a) are there in total? b) contain exactly two heads? c) contain at most three tails? d) contain the same number of heads and tails?
Extra question: Toss a coin three times. Let X denote the number of heads in the results. Let Y denote the absolute value of the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails. What is the frequency function of (X,Y)?
A coin is tossed twice. Let the random variable X denote the number of tails that occur in the two tosses. Find the P(X ≤ 1) Question 2: A coin is tossed twice. Let the random variable X denote the number of tails that occur in the two tosses. Find the P(Xs 1) a. 0.250 b. 0.500 c. 0.750 d. 1.000 e. None of the above
Suppose we flip a fair coin n times. We say that the sequence is balanced when there are equal number of heads and tails. For example, if we flip the coin 10 times and the results are HT HHT HT T HH, then this sequence balanced 2 times, i.e. at position 2 and position 8 (after the second and eighth flips). In terms of n, what is the expected number of times the sequence is balanced within n flips?
A fair coin is flipped 20 times. a. Determine the probability that the coin comes up tails exactly 15 times. b. Find the probability that the coin comes up tails at least 15 times. c. Find the mean and standard deviation for the random variable X giving the number of tails in this coin flipping problem.
Exercise 8.52. A fair coin is flipped 30 times. LetX denote the number of heads among the first 20 coin flips and Y denote the number of heads among the last 20 coin flips. Compute the correlation coefficient of X and I.
