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.
Player B- Heads Player B- Tails
Player A- Heads 1, -1 -1, 1
Player B- Tails -1, 1 1, -1
Suppose both players use maximin strategies for this game. Is
there a clear equilibrium outcome to the game in this case?
Explain answer
Consider independent trials of flipping fair coins (outcomes are
heads or tails). Define the random variable T to be the first time
that two heads come up in a row (so, for the outcome HT HT HH... we
have T = 6).
(a) Compute P(T = i) for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
(b) Compute P(T = n) for n > 5.
1) Define a random variable in words. (e.g. X = number of
heads observed)
2) Specify the distribution of the random variable including
identifying the value(s) of any
parameter(s). (e.g. X ∼ Binomial(10.5))
3) State the desired probability in terms of your random
variable (e.g. P(X < 3)).
4) Calculate the desired probability (e.g. P(X < 3) =
.055).
[Note: You may need more than 1 random variable per
question.]

A few things for this discussion board: 1. You do not need to
post first for this board. 2. You do NOT need to respond to other
posts. 3. You DO need to answer all the questions below to get full
credit.
1. Obtain a quarter coin. Flip the coin 10 times. Record your
results.
2. Summarize YOUR results in terms of heads and tails.
3. Calculate the probability of heads and tails from your
results.

The list of sequences of Heads (H) and Tails (T) in four coin
flips with various numbers of heads is as follows: 0 Heads TTTT 1
Head HTTT THTT TTHT TTTH 2 Heads HHTT HTHT THHT HTTH THTH TTHH 3
Heads HHHT HHTH HTHH THHH 4 Heads HHHH Write out the list of
sequences of Heads (H) and Tails (T) in five coin flips with 0 Heads,
1 Head, 2 Heads, 3 Heads, 4 Heads and 5 Heads. Describe how...
Let W be a random variable giving the number of heads minus the
number of tails in three independent tosses of an unfair coin where
p = P(H) = 1 3 , and q = P(T) = 2 3 . (a) List the elements of the
sample space S for the three tosses of the coin and to each sample
point assign a value of W. (b) Find P(−1 ≤ W < 1). (c) Draw a
graph of the probability...
Coin toss experiment In this experiment, determine the number of
heads and tails after flipping a coin for 1000 times. Use two
different methods to find number of heads and tails Use for loops
Use vectors in MATLAB. Repeat this experiment to find running
average of flipping a coin for 200 and 2000 times. Plot the running
average for two experiments using subplot functions
