A random variable X is generated as follows. We flip a coin. With probability p , the result is Heads, and then X is generated according to a PDF f X|H which is uniform on [0,1] . With probability 1−p the result is Tails, and then X is generated according to a PDF f X|T of the form
f X|T (x)=2x,if x∈[0,1]. (The PDF is zero everywhere else.)

Question 2 Suppose you have a fair coin (a coin is considered fair if there is an equal probability of being heads or tails after a flip). In other words, each coin flip i follows an independent Bernoulli distribution X Ber(1/2). Define the random variable X, as: i if coin flip i results in heads 10 if coin flip i results in tails a. Suppose you flip the coin n = 10 times. Define the number of heads you observe...

"Flip a Coin!" You will write a program that allows the user to simulate a coin flip. Note the following line of code: (Math.random()*2) +1; This line generates a random number (a float) between 1 and 2. If you wanted to simulate somebody rolling a die, you could store the value of this variable as: var coinFlip = (Math.random()*2) +1; (Be sure to include all the parentheses in this line of code.) Reminder - Of course, you’ll need to convert...
