4. We have 10 coins, which are weighted so that when flipped the kth coin shows heads with probability p = k/10 (k = 1, . . . , 10).

(a) If we randomly select a coin, flip it, and get heads, what is the probability that it is the 3rd coin? Answer: 3/55 '

(b) What is the probability that it is the kth coin? Answer: k/55

(c) If we pick two coins and they both show heads, what is the probability that one of them is the 5th coin? So far, for part (c), I have P(E5 | HH) = (1/18)/P(HH), but I am not confident in how to find P(HH).

Thirty biased coins are flipped once. The coins are weighted so that the probability of a head with any coin is 0.40. What is the probability of getting at least 16 heads? The answer is 0.0681. How do I solve this??

There are two coins and one of them will be chosen randomly and flipped 10 times. When coin 1 is flipped, the probability that it will land on heads is 0.50. When coin 2 is flipped, the probability that it will land on heads is 0.75. What is the probability that the coin lands on tails on exactly 4 of the 10 flips? Round the answer to four decimal places.

I have a fair coin and a weighted coin that lands heads 60% of the time. I grab a coin at random. I flip that coin 5 times and get heads 4 times and tails once. What is the probability that the coin I grabbed was the weighted coin? (answer to 3 decimal places)

Suppose I have two biased coins: coin #1, which lands heads with probability 0.9999, and coin #2, which lands heads with probability 0.1. I conduct an experiment as follows. First I toss a fair coin to decide which biased coin I pick (say, if it lands heads, I pick coin #1, and otherwise I pick coin #2) and then I toss the biased coin twice. Let A be the event that the biased coin #1 is chosen, B1 the event...

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...

3. A fair coin is flipped 4 times. (a) What is the probability that the third flip is tails? (b) What is the probability that we never get the same outcome (heads or tails) twice in a row? (c) What is the probability of tails appearing on at most one of the four flips? (d) What is the probability of tails appearing on either the first or the last flip (or both)? (e) What is the probability of tails appearing...

Q1. I have two coins in my pocket, one is a fair coin, the other has heads on both sides. I pick one at random, and without looking at what it is, I toss it four times. I get four heads. (HHHH). (I) What is the probability that I picked the fair coin? (II) What is your answer if I got N heads in a row rather than four? Q2. A, B are cowboys. A hits every shot. A has...

You will flip two coins together 10 times. You are interested in the outcome where both coins land on heads. Let X be the number of times you observe this outcome. Answer Question 1 through 4. 1. What are the possible values for x? (values the random variable X can take) 2. Is X binomial random variable? If so, state its parameter n and p. If not, explain why. 3. Find the probability that you will see both coins landing...
