A fair coin is tossed 400 times.
(a) Using the normal approximation to estimate the chance of
getting exact 200 heads.
(b) To use binomial formula to find the chance of getting exact
200 heads.
A coin is tossed 279 times. Use either a Normal or Poisson
approximation to approximate the probability that there are at most
43 heads. Show that the approximation is applicable and use the
Padé approximation to determine the result.
DO NOT USE!!!! TI-83, TI-84, TI-89 NOR Excel commands for the
Binomial distribution to determine the result.
A coin will be tossed 7 times. Find the probability that there
will be exactly 2 heads among the first 4 tosses, and exactly 2
heads among the last 3 tosses. (Include 2 digits after the decimal
point.)
A fair coin is tossed 100 times. What is the probability of
observing at least 55 heads P(x≥55)? (Approximate the binomial
distribution with a normal distribution
8. A fair coin is tossed 60 times. Find the probability that the
head appears between 22 and 40 times by using
a. binomial distribution,
b. approximation of Binomial distribution by normal
distribution. Discuss why b. is better in practice.
Assume we flip a fair coin 100 times. Use the normal
approximation to the binomial distribution to approximate the
probability of getting more than 60 heads.
