We're going to leave birds for a minute and work through some probability calculations using a coin.
A coin has two sides-head and tail.
When we talk about probability we use numbers between 0 and 1. An event with a probability of 0 will never happen. An event with a probability of 1 will definitely happen.
If I toss a coin what is the probability it will land heads up?
a. 0
b. 1/4
c. 1/2
d. 1
Homework Answers
for a coin there are 2 sides, one is head and one is tail so when we flip a coin there are 2 possibilities, we can get either a head or a tail, that is there is an equal chance of getting head or tail, that is the probability of getting head =1/2=probability of getting tail.
so the probability of getting head= number of head/total number
=1/2
c) 1/2

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...

A high-school teacher takes an afternoon to teach their class some basic ideas about probability. They do this by getting the students to toss coins (head or tails) and set up a tournament where the 32 students split into pairs and have a contest: the students in each pair toss a coin ten times and the winner is the student who tosses the most heads. Then the 16 students who were winners in the first round are again split into...

Hello, Please show a work through of how to get equation (2) by taking the limit where t approaches zero using equation (1). I'm not following that part of the question. Thank you. Recall the experiment we did in class where we had all of you initially stand on one side of the room (the right side) and I asked you to flip a quarter over some timescale T. If you got a head, then you stayed where you were...

Recall question 2 of the previous homework – We draw 6 cards from a 52 card deck and let X = the number of heart cards drawn. You already found the pmf back then. You’re allowed to use it here without re-deriving it. a. What is the expected value of X? b. What is the variance of X? What is...
