For each of the following situations, write down the likelihood function L(θ), where θ is the probability of heads for the coin described.

  1. You toss a coin 50 times and see that it came up heads 35 times and tails 15 times.
  2. You toss a coin 100 times and see that it came up heads 54 times and tails 45 times. You don't know which way it came up the last time because it rolled into a drain was lost.
  3. You decide to toss a coin until it comes up heads the first time and then toss it 10 more times. It first comes up heads on the third toss and then comes up heads 5 more times in 10 tosses.

Our intuition about chance behavior is not very accurate. In particular, we tend to expect that the long-run pattern described by probability will show up in the short run as well. For example, we tend to think that tossing a coin 10 times will give close to five heads. a) Set the probability of heads in the Probability applet to 0.5 and the number of tosses to 10. Click “Toss” to simulate 10 tosses of a balanced coin. What was...

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...

Which variable is NOT a binomial variable? A. An SRS of 22 widgets are picked from an production line and inspected. X = # of defectives produced. B. A fair die is rolled 10 times. X = # of times 5 comes up. C. A coin is flipped until heads comes up the first time. X = number of rolls required. D. An SRS of 120 students are asked, "Do you love baseball?" X = number of "yes" answers.

Which of the following situations do notinvolve a discrete random variable? There may be more than one answer. (Note that you are only asked to identify the type of variable; you do not need to try to solve any of them.) The average length of time a call to company Q's helpline takes is 8.53 minutes. Assuming that the times are normally distributed and there is a 50% chance that a call lasts for less than 8.53 minutes, estimate the standard...

Think about the following game: A fair coin is tossed 10 times. Each time the toss results in heads, you receive $10; for tails, you get nothing. What is the maximum amount you would pay to play the game? Define a success as a toss that lands on heads. Then the probability of a success is 0.5, and the expected number of successes after 10 tosses is 10(0.5) = 5. Since each success pays $10, the total amount you would...

What if he bet hisentire $10,000 on the toss of a coin, where he loses if heads and wins iftails? Then if the coin came up heads, he would have 0 dollars and if itcame up tails, he would have $20,000.His expected utility if he took thebet would...
