A coin has one face marked with 1 and the other face marked -1. The coin is tossed four times. Let X be the sum of four numbers and g(X)=X2.

  1. Determine the Probability Mass Function (PMF) of X and g(X).

  2. Sketch PMF and CDF for X.

  3. Sketch PMF and CDF for g(X).

  4. Evaluate E(X) and Var(X).

  5. Evaluate E(g(X)) and Var(g(X)).

A random experiment consists of throwing a coin marked with the labels "Face" and "Cross". Suppose the probability of obtaining each of these results is p and 1-p, respectively. Calculate and graph accurately the probability function and the function of distribution of variable X defined as follows: X("Face")=3 X("Cross")=5

1. One researcher believes a coin is “fair,” the other believes the coin is biased toward heads. The coin is tossed 21 times, yielding 16 heads. Indicate whether or not the first researcher’s position is supported by the results. Use α = .05. 2. Design a decision rule to test the hypothesis that a coin is fair if a sample of 64 tosses of the coin is taken and if a level of significance of (a) .05 and (b) .01...

A con man has 3 coins. One coin has been specially made and has a head on each side. A second coin has been specially made, and on each side it has a tail. Finally, a third coin has a head and a tail on it. All coins are of the same denomination. The con man places the 3 coins in his pocket, selects one, and shows you one side. It is heads. He is willing to bet you even...

Suppose that coin 1 has probability 0.8 of coming up heads, and coin 2 has probability 0.6 of coming up heads. If the coin flipped today comes up heads, then with equal probability we select coin 1 or coin 2 to flip tomorrow, and if it comes up tails, then we select coin 2 to flip tomorrow. (a) If the coin initially flipped is coin 1, what is the probability that the coin flipped on the second day after the...

An urn contains 9 balls, one marked WIN and the others marked LOSE. You and another player take turns selecting a ball at random from the urn, one at a time. The first person to select the WIN ball is the winner. If you draw first, find the probability that you will win if the sampling is done without replacement? My answer 3/9 is apparently incorrect.

Suppose that we have a red coin and a blue coin. The red coin has probability pR = 0.1 of landing heads, and the blue coin has probability pB = 0.2 of landing heads. (a) Write R code to generate a sequence of coin tosses, starting with the red coin, and switching coins every time a coin lands heads. (b) Generate 1000 such sequences, each consisting of 1000 coin tosses, and use them to construct a plot of the 2.5%,...

A coin mint has a specification that a particular coin has a mean weight of 3.5g. A sample of 36 coins was collected. Those coins have a mean weight of 2.49585g and a standard deviation of 0.01855g. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that this sample is from a population with a mean weight equal to 2.5g. Do the coins appear to conform the specifications of the coin mint? a)What are the hypotheses? b)Identify the test statistic?...
