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 a fair coin. Show how to use a
normal approximation (with continuity correction) to estimate the
probability that X ≥ 29.
(b) Suppose the coin chosen is a biased coin. Show how to use a normal approximation (with continuity correction) to estimate the probability that X ≤ 29.

We toss a fair coin n 400 times and denote Zn the number of heads. (a) What are E(Zn) et Var(Zn)1? (b) What is the probability that Z 200? (use the normal approximation together with the continuity correction (c) What is the smallest integer m such that Pr 200-mくZ.く200 +m] > 20%? (use the normal approximation together with the continuity correction).

there are two coins. One is fair and the other one has a 5/8 probability to heads. A coin is chosen at random and tossed twice. Heads shows twice. What is the probability the coin you chose is the biased one
We have four fair coins, each of which has probability 1/2 of having a heads outcome and a tails outcome. The experiment is to ip all four coins and observe the sequence of heads and tails. For example, outcome HTHH means coin 1 was heads, coin 2 was tails, coin 3 was heads, coin 4 was heads Note that there are 16 total outcomes, and we assume that each one is equally likely. What is the probability that at there...
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 we have two coins, coin A and coin B, and flip them each 10 times. Let E be the event that every time coin A comes up heads, so does coin B. Find P(E). HINT: Use Conditional Probability

- Question 8 a) A green die is biased so that a 6 is 5 times as likely to appear as any other number, and that the five other outcomes are equally likely. Leaving your answer in exact form, what is the probability of a 6 appearing in a single toss of the green die? 5 points 0.5 b) A red die is biased so that the probability that a 1 appears in a single toss is Let X be...
