Suppose we toss a fair coin twice. Let X = the number of heads, and Y = the number of tails. X and Y are clearly not independent. a. Show that X and Y are not independent. (Hint: Consider the events “X=2” and “Y=2”) b. Show that E(XY) is not equal to E(X)E(Y). (You’ll need to derive the pmf for XY in order to calculate E(XY). Write down the sample space! Think about what the support of XY is and...

I toss 3 fair coins, and then re-toss all the ones that come up tails. Let X denote the number of coins that come up heads on the first toss, and let Y denote the number of re-tossed coins that come up heads on the second toss. (Hence 0 ≤ X ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ Y ≤ 3 − X.) (a) Determine the joint pmf of X and Y , and use it to calculate E(X + Y )....

Let X denote the number of heads than occur when four coins are tossed at random. Under the assumptions that the four coins are independent and the probability of heads on each coin is 1/2,X is B(4,1/2). One hundred repetitions of this experiment results in 0,1,2,3, and 4 heads being observed on 7,18,40,31, and 4 trials, respectively. Do these results support the assumption that the distribution of X is B(4,1/2)?
