Answer #1

Case1:

When a coin is flipped twice, the total number of outcomes are so the sample points are
Probability of getting all heads=.

Case 2:

When the coin is flipped 10 times, the sample space contains outcomes, and only one outcome has all heads.

Probability of getting all heads=

So since the probability in case 1 is more than that in case 2.

We are likely to get all heads when a coin is flipped twice.

Suppose that you get the opportunity to play a coin flipping game where if your first flip is a “head”, then you get to flip five more times; otherwise you only get to flip two more times. Assuming that the coin is fair and that each flip is independent, what is the expected total number of “heads”?

Consider two coins, one fair and one unfair. The probability of getting heads on a given flip of the unfair coin is 0.10. You are given one of these coins and will gather information about your coin by flipping it. Based on your flip results, you will infer which of the coins you were given. At the end of the question, which coin you were given will be revealed. When you flip your coin, your result is based on a...

You select a coin at random: 2/3 of the coins are unfair, 1/3 of the coins are fair. The fair coins are equally likely to flip heads or tails. The unfair coins flip heads 3/4 of the times, and tails 1/4 of the times. You flip the selected coin and get heads or tails. Find (1) the probability that the selected coin is fair given the flip is heads, (2) the probability that the selected coin is fair given the...

Suppose you and your roommate use a coin-flipping app to decide who has to take out the trash: heads you take out the trash, tails your roommate does. After losing a number of flips, you start to wonder if the coin-flipping app really is totally random, or if it is biased in one direction or the other. To be fair to your roommate, you wish to test whether the app is biased in either direction, and thus a two-tailed test...

(1 point) Rework problem 29 from section 1.4 of your text, involving the flipping of a coin. A coin is flipped. If a heads is flipped, then the coin is flipped 5 more times and the number of heads flipped is noted; otherwise (i.e., a tails is flipped on the initial flip), then the coin is flipped 3 more times and the result of each flip (i.e., heads or tails) is noted successively. How many possible outcomes are in the...

A game consists of flipping a fair coin twice and counting the number of heads that appear. The distribution for the number of heads, X, is given by: P(X = 0) = 1/4; P(X =1) = 1/2; P(X = 2) = 1/4. A player receives $0 for no heads, $2 for 1 head, and $5 for 2 heads (there is no cost to play the game). Calculate the expected amount of winnings ($).
