In a sequential experiment we first flip a fair coin. If head (event H) shows up we roll a fair die and observe the outcome. If tail (event T) shows up, we roll two fair dice. Let X denote the number of sixes that we observe. a) What is the sample space of X? b) Find the PMF of X and E[X]. c) Given that X = 1, what is the probability that head showed up in the flip of...

Suppose a fair coin is tossed repeatedly and independently until the pair HT occurs (i.e., a head followed by a tail). Let X be the number of trials required to obtain the ordered pair HT. (a) Show that the probability mass function of X is given by p(x) = (x − 1)/2x. (Hint: Draw a tree and note that at stage x, for x ≥ 2, there are precisely x − 1 paths in which an H was obtained at...

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).
