In a coin game, you repeatedly toss a biased coin (0.75 for head, 0.25 for tail). Each head represent 3 points and tail represents 1 points. You can either Toss or Stop if the total number of points you have tossed is no more than 7. Otherwise, you must Stop. When you Stop, your utility is equal to your total points (up to 7), or zero if you get a total of 8 or higher. When you Toss, you receive...

John decides to play coin with his friend. However, John knows that his friend has a forged coin and 85% of the time the friend uses that forged coin. If a forged coin is used, the probability of getting tail will be 60% for a toss; If a fair coin is used instead, the probability of getting a tail will be 50%. What is the probability that this time the friend is using a forged coin and gets a tail...

Problem Page Question A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability. For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event. Outcomes Probability HHT...
