We toss n coins and each one shows up heads with probability p, independent of the other coin tosses. Each coin which shows up heads is tossed again.

What is the probability mass function of the number of heads obtained after the second round of coin tossing?

Alice and Bob play the following game. They toss 5 fair coins. If all tosses are Heads,Bob wins. If the number of Heads tosses is zero or one, Alice wins. Otherwise they repeat,tossing five coins on each round, until the game is decided. (a) Compute the expectednumber of coin tosses needed to decide the game. (b) Compute the probability that Alicewins.

Part 1. Two fair coins are tossed and we are told that one turned up “Heads”. What is the probability that the other turned up “Tails”? Part 2. Two fair coins are tossed, and we get to see only one, which happened to turn up “Heads”. What is the probability that the hidden coin turned up “Tails”? *Remark This problem is really different from the previous one!

Q1. Let p denote the probability that the coin will turn up as a Head when tossed. Given n independent tosses of the same coin, what is the probability distribution associated with the number of Head outcomes observed? Q2. Suppose you have information that a coin in your possession is not a fair coin, and further that either Pr(Head|p) = p is certain to be equal to either p = 0.33 or p = 0.66. Assuming you believe this information,...

We have two coins whose heads are marked 2 and tails marked 1. One is a fair coin and the other is a biased coin whose probabilities of 'Head' are 1/2 and 1/4 respectively.Suppose we toss the two coins simultaneously. Let S and P be the sum and product of all the outcome numbers on the coins, respectively. 1. Compute the mean and variance of S. Calculate up to 3 decimal places (round the number at 4th place) if necessary....

A coin is tossed repeatedly; on each toss, a head is shown with probability p or a tail with probability 1 − p. All tosses are independent. Let E denote the event that the first run of r successive heads occurs earlier than the first run of s successive tails. Let A denote the outcome of the first toss. Show that P(E|A=head)=pr−1 +(1−pr−1)P(E|A=tail). Find a similar expression for P (E | A = tail) and then find P (E).

Q3. Suppose you toss n “fair” coins (i.e., heads probability = 1/21/2). For every coin that came up tails, suppose you toss it one more time. Let X be the random variable denoting the number of heads in the end. What is the range of the variable X (give exact upper and lower bounds) What is the distribution of X? (Write down the name and give a convincing explanation.)

We are given three coins: one has heads in both faces, the second has tails in both faces, and the third has a head in one face and a tail in the other. We choose a coin at random, toss it, and the result is heads. What is the probability that the opposite face is tails?
