A coin will be tossed multiple times. Probability of
head is 1/2, and probability of tail is 1/2. they are independent
from each other.
X is a random variable that counts how often the coin must be
tossed until the first head appears.
calculate for all k=1,2,3,..., how big the probability is
for:
i) X=k
ii) X>k
iii) X<k

Problem 7) True/False A fair coin is tossed 20 times. A fair coin means that the probability of getting a head is the same as the probability of getting a tail. Let X be the number of coins of getting head. Note that there are only two possible outcomes: getting head or tail after tossing the coin. X follows a binomial distribution with n=20.p=0.5. Answer the following questions. True/False: In this problem, the random variable X is considered as a...
