8. The following test is proposed: To test the hypothesis that a particular coin is “fair” (equal probabilities of Heads and Tails), the coin is tossed 1000 times. The test will be that if the number of Heads in the 1000 tosses is between 475 and 525, then the statistician will conclude that the coin is “fair”. What is the probability that the statistician concludes that the coin is “fair” when in fact the P(Heads)=0.52 ?

The following test is proposed: To test the hypothesis that a
particular coin is “fair” (equal probabilities of Heads and Tails),
the coin is tossed 1000 times. The test will be that if the number
of Heads in the 1000 tosses is between 475 and 525, then the
statistician will conclude that the coin is “fair”. What is the
probability that the statistician concludes that the coin is “fair”
when in fact the P(Heads)=0.52 ?

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?

A fair coin has been tossed four times. Let X be the number of
heads minus the number of tails (out of four tosses). Find the
probability mass function of X. Sketch the graph of the probability
mass function and the distribution function, Find E[X] and
Var(X).

A coin is tossed 10 times to test the hypothesis (?0) that the
probability of heads is ½ versus the alternative that the
probability is not ½. A test is defined by: reject ?0 if either 0
or 10 heads are observed.
a. What is the significance level of the test?
b. If in fact the probability of heads is 0.1, what is the
power, (1 − ?), of the test?

Let p denote the probability that a particular coin will show
heads when randomly tossed. It is not necessarily true that the
coin is a “fair” coin wherein p=1/2. Find the a posteriori
probability density function f(p|TN ) where TN is the observed
number of heads n observed in N tosses of a coin. The a priori
density is p~U[0.2,0.8], i.e., uniform over this interval. Make
some plots of the a posteriori density.

Assume p represents the probability that a particular
coin will show heads when randomly tossed. Don't assume its true
that the coin is a “fair” coin wherein p=1/2. Determine
the a posteriori probability density function
f(p|TN) where
TN is the observed number of heads n
observed in N tosses of a coin. The a priori
density is p~U[0.2,0.8], i.e., uniform over this
interval. Create some plots of the a posteriori
density.
