Exercise 1.16. We flip a fair coin five times
Exercise 1.16. We flip a fair coin five times. For every heads you pay me $1 and for every tails I pay you $1. Let X denote my net winnings at the end of five flips. Find the possible values and the probability mass function of X.

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?

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.

1. Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answers a) You flip a coin 100,000 times and record the outcome in a Xi 1 if the toss is "Heads" and 0 if its "Tails. The Law of Large Numbers says that: i. ii. It is impossible for the first n flips to all be "Heads" if n is large. With high probability, the share of coin flips that are "Heads" will approximate 50%. The sample mean of X is always 0.5...

You flip the same coin 90 mores times (100 total flips). If half of the 90 additional flips are heads (45 heads) and half are tails (45 tails), what is the empirical probability of getting a heads for this coin? (So there are the original 10 heads plus an additional 45 heads for a total of 55 heads in 100 flips) (You can give the answer as either a decimal or percent. Give the answer to two decimal places.)

One gambler flips a fair coin in three separate times. Letting a random variable X represent his winnings in the following way: He loses $1 if he gets no heads in three flips; he wins $1, $2, and $3 if he obtains 1, 2, or 3 heads, respectively. (a) Find the probability mass function of X. (b) Find the probability density function of X. (c) Find the cumulative distribution function of X. (d) Find the probability that he wins more...
