2) (Difficult problem: i don't expect that people can solve it) Let X be a exponential variable with parameter λ 2, Now, we have a unbiased coin. We throw it. If we get tall, we take the number X. If we get head we take 3 times X. The result is called Z. What is the probability density of Z. (Read up about the probability density of exponential variable online). So, in other words, we generate a random number X...
Imagine an experiment where we flip a coin 6 times, and get “head, tail, head, head, head, head”. Which of the following statements are true? a) The coin is not fair b) The coin’s tail probability is 1/6 c) The sequence "head, tail, head, head, head, head" is an outcome in the sample space. d) The sample space of the experiment is {head, tail}
When you throw a coin n times, Probability Head is 2/3, Tail is 1/3. Find a probability that the pattern HH will never come out.(in nth term)
A coin will be tossed multiple times. Probability of head is 1/2, and probability of tail is 1/2. they are independent from each other. X is a random variable that counts how often the coin must be tossed until the first head appears. calculate for all k=1,2,3,..., how big the probability is for: i) X=k ii) X>k iii) X<k
You have a biased coin where heads come up with probability 2/3
and tails come up with probability 1/3.
2. Assume that you flip the coin until you get three heads or one tail. (a) Draw the possibility tree. (b) What is the average number of flips? Use the possibility tree, and show your calculation.

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...
We play a game where we throw a coin at most 4 times. If we get 2 heads at any point, then we win the game. If we do not get 2 heads after 4 tosses, then we loose the game. For example, HT H, is a winning case, while T HT T is a losing one. We define an indicator random variable X as the win from this game. (d) (5 Pts.) On average how many times do you...
Probability Puzzle 3: Flipping Coins
If you flip a coin 3 times, the probability of getting any sequence is identical (1/8). There are 8 possible sequences: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT Let's make this situation a little more interesting. Suppose two players are playing each other. Each player choses a sequence, and then they start flipping a coin until they get one of the two sequences. We have a long sequence that looks something like this: HHTTHTTHTHTTHHTHT.......

Recall that a discrete random variable X has Poisson distribution with parameter λ if the probability mass function of X is r E 0,1,2,...) This distribution is often used to model the number of events which will occur in a given time span, given that λ such events occur on average a) Prove by direct computation that the mean of...
