A particular coin is biased. Each timr it is flipped, the probability of a head is P(H)=0.55 and the probability of a tail is P(T)=0.45. Each flip os independent of the other flips. The coin is flipped twice. Let X be the total number of times the coin shows a head out of two flips. So the possible values of X are x=0,1, or 2. a. Compute P(X=0), P(X=1), P(X=2). b. What is the probability that X>=1? c. Compute the...

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.

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...
