3 Suppose that a box contains five coins, and that for each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed.

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...

Suppose that Anna and Ben will each toss a fair coin until an outcome of Heads is obtained. (I.e., each person will toss their coin until they obtain an outcome of Heads.) What is the probability that it will take Ben MORE THAN TWICE as many tosses as it takes Anna? (Make the usual assumptions regarding tosses of fair coins.)

A biased coin is tossed until a head occurs. If the probability of heads on any given toss is .4, What is the probability that it will take 7 tosses until the first head occurs? The answer i got was , (.60)^2(.40) Now for the second part it says, what is the probability that it will take 9 tosses until the second head occurs. Is the answer for this part be 9C2(.40)^2(.60)^7 or 8C1(.40)(.60)^5 I can't figure out if its...
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)
