(1 point) Rework problem 15 from section 4.3 of your text, involving the expected number of heads when flipping one of two coins. One coin is fair and one is weighted so that Pr[H]=13Pr[H]=13. You randomly select one of the two coins, and flip it 2 times, noting the result of each flip.

What is the expected number of heads?

(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...
