A coin is flipped. If a heads is flipped, then the coin is flipped 4 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 2 more times and the result of each flip (i.e., heads or tails) is noted successively. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?

A selection of coin is known to be either fair (with a probability 0.5 of coming up heads or tails when flipped) or biased (with a probability 0.75 of tails, 0.25 of heads.) Further. it is known that 1/10 of the coins are biased. a) You select a coin at random. What are the prior odds (not probability) that you have picked a biased coin? b) You select a coin at random and flip it; you get tails. What are...
