A fair coin is flipped repeatedly. (a) (6pts) Suppose we hope that with probability at least 0.9 the frequency of heads showing up is between 0.4 and 0.6. Use Chebyshev’s inequality to estimate at least how many times the coin should be flipped. (b) (6pts) Suppose we hope that with probability at least 0.95 the frequency of heads showing up is between 0.4 and 0.6. Use the central limit theorem to estimate at least how many times the coin should be flipped.

A fair coin is flipped 80 times. 1) What is the probability that the first Tail is obtained sometime after the 20th coin flip (include no tails)? 2) Find an exact expression for the probability that more than 40 Heads are obtained. 3) Find an approximate value for the probability in (2) using an appropriate Gaussian approximation.

1)Probability A) A fair coin is flipped three times. How many simple events are there in the uniform sample space? List them. B) A fair coin is flipped five times. How many simple events are there in the uniform sample space? C) A fair dice is rolled 10 times. What is the probability it lands on a 6 exactly 3 times? D) A dice is rolled 10 times. What is the probability that it lands on an even number exactly...

A fair coin is flipped four times. What is the probability that tails occurs exactly 4 times if it is known that tails occurs at least twice

Suppose you toss a fair coin 10 times. (a) Calculate the probability of getting at least...

Suppose you toss a fair coin 10 times. (a) Calculate the probability of getting at least 6 heads, using the exact distribution. (b) Now repeat the calculate above, but approximate the probability using a normal random variable. Do your calculation both with and without the histogram correction. Which one is closer to the true answer? Now suppose you toss a fair coin 1000 times. (c) What is the probability of getting at least 520 heads? You can approximate this using...

A fair coin is tossed repeatedly until it has landed Heads at least once and has landed Tails at least once. Find the expected number of tosses.

A fair coin is flipped six times. The outcomes of the coin flips form a palindrome...

A fair coin is flipped six times. The outcomes of the coin flips form a palindrome if the sequence of T’s and H’s reads the same forwards and backwards, e.g. THTTHT. Let A denote the event that the first, second and fourth flips are all ‘T’. Let Z denote the event that the six flips form a palindrome. (a) Is A independent of Z? (b) Is A independent of Z? (c) A fair coin flipped six times and a certain...

A fair coin is flipped 3 times. Events A and B are defined as: A: There are at least two consecutive heads somewhere in the sequence. B: The last flip comes up tails. What is p(B | A)?

A coin is flipped repeatedly until either two heads appear in a row or two tails...

A coin is flipped repeatedly until either two heads appear in a row or two tails appear in a row(and then stop). Find the exact answer for P(two heads in a row appears before two tails in a row) for a coin with probability p of getting heads.

A biased coin is flipped 20 times in a row. The coin has a probability 0.75 of showing Heads. a. What’s the probability that you get exactly 8 Heads? b. What’s the probability that you get exactly 8 Heads, given that the first 2 flips show Heads? c. What’s the probability that you never see the same result consecutively( never see 2H or 2T in a row)

A coin has a probability of 1/4 for head, and is repeatedly tossed until we throw...

A coin has a probability of 1/4 for head, and is repeatedly tossed until we throw head. The successive results of the toss are independent of each other. What is the probability that the first time we throw head after an odd number of toss? Hint: Use the law of total probability and consider the event that the first toss is head is, and her complement, as conditioning events. Correct answer: 3/7
