2. In 200 tosses of a coin, it was observed that 115 Heads and
85 Tails appeared. Test whether this is a fair coin at the = 0.05
level and at the = 0.01 levels.
A coin with P[Heads]= p and P[Tails]= 1p is tossed repeatedly
(the tosses are independent). Define (X = number of the toss on
which the first H appears, Y = number of the toss on which the
second H appears. Clearly 1X<Y. (i) Are X and Y independent?
Why or why not? (ii) What is the probability distribution of X?
(iii) Find the probability distribution of Y . (iv) Let Z = Y X.
Find the joint probability mass function
sean tosses a coin 40 times and gets 15 heads while Micah tosses
a coin 30 times and gets 16 heads. Suppose that the outcomes of
sean's coin tosses are iid random variable with probability p1 of
getting heads on each toss while Micah’s outcomes are also iid with
a potentially different probability p2 of getting heads.
(1) Calculate the maximum likelihood and method of moments
estimators of p1.
(2) Show that the MLE of p1 is an MVUE for...
Fair Coin? In a series of 100 tosses of a
token, the proportion of heads was found to be 0.43. However, the
margin of error for the estimate on the proportion of heads in all
tosses was too big. Suppose you want an estimate that is in error
by no more than 0.05 at the 90% confidence level.
(a) What is the minimum number of tosses required to obtain this
type of accuracy? Use the prior sample proportion in your...
