(a) What is the change in entropy (in J/K) if you start with 100 coins in the 60 heads and 40 tails macrostate, toss them, and get 45 heads and 55 tails?

(b) What if you get 25 heads and 75 tails (in J/K)?

(c) How much more likely is 45 heads and 55 tails than 25 heads and 75 tails (times more likely)?

To test the hypothesis that a coin is fair, you toss it 100 times. Your decision rules allow you to accept the hypothesis only if you get between 40 and 60 tails in 100 tosses. What is the probability of committing Type II error when the actual probability of tails is 0.7?

If I tell you that I have a coin, but it is a special coin. In that, I mean that it is not a 50/50 coin. However, I don't know how likely it is for it to land on heads (or tails). So we decide to flip it 10 times and we get 40% heads (which is 0.40 as a proportion). Are you willing to say that it is a 40/60 coin? Why or why not? after we flipped it...

In a group of 100 politicians, 40 are in Party I and 60 are in Party II. Members of Party I are incapable of changing their minds about anything. Members of Party II change their minds completely randomly every day, independently of all others and also independently of all evidence. Tomorrow, the politicians are going to vote on Proposition 88. Here is a summary of their opinions today. Of the 40 members in Party I, 25 are in favor of...

150 grams of boiling water (temperature 100°C, heat capacity 4.2 J/gram/K) are poured into an aluminum pan whose mass is 970 grams and initial temperature 25°C (the heat capacity of aluminum is 0.9 J/gram/K). (a) After a short time, what is the temperature of the water? (b) What simplifying assumptions did you have to make? The thermal energy of the aluminum doesn't change. Energy transfer between the system (water plus pan) and the surroundings was negligible during this time. The...

7. If you flip 10 fair coins, what is the probability that: (a) Exactly 5 of them are “heads”? (b) At least 8 of them are “heads”? 8. Urn A has four red balls and two white balls, and urn B has three red balls and four white balls. A fair coin is tossed. If it lands heads up, a ball is drawn from urn A; otherwise, a ball is drawn from urn B. Compute (a) the probability a red...
