Answer #1

Find the expected value.

Solution! Given that we toss a biased coin (probability of heads=p) n times. And y ý a random variable that i numbers of head since xies if ith toss was head 2of otherwise here Xi is an indicator function Now, we have to find the expected value of yo

Q3. Suppose we toss a coin until we see a heads, and let X be the number of tosses. Recall that this is what we called the geometric distribution. Assume that it is a fair coin (equal probability of heads and tails). What is the p.m.f. of X? (I.e., for an integer i, what is P(X=i)? What is ?[X]? ({} this is a discrete variable that takes infinitely many values.)

Please, I want to solve this question 2· Let 0 < p < 0.5. Assume that there are two biased coins. The 1st coin shows heads with probability p and the second coin shows heads with probability q, where q-1-p. Consider the following two stage experiment. First, select one of the two coins at random, with each coin being selected with probability 1/2, and then flip the selected coin n times. Let X be the number of times heads shows....

1. A jar has two kinds of coins. Some of them are fair, and some of them have are biased, in which case P(heads) = 2 . 3 A coin is selected from the jar. Since we don’t know which kind it is, we toss it 50 times. Let X be the number of heads that occur. Please note carefully the directions of the inequalities (≤ or ≥) in each of the questions below. (a) Suppose the coin chosen is...
