Get started for freeWhen coin 1 is flipped, it lands on heads with probability .4; when coin 2 is flipped, it lands on heads with probability .7. One of these coins is randomly chosen and flipped 10 times.
(a) What is the probability that the coin lands on heads on exactly 7 of the 10 flips?
(b) Given that the first of these 10 flips lands heads, what is the conditional probability that exactly 7 of the 10 flips land on heads?
Suppose that the random variable is equal to the number of hits obtained by a certain baseball player in his next at-bats. If and, find
How many people are needed so that the probability that at least one of them has the same birthday as you is greater than ?
There are types of coupons. Independently of the types of previously collected coupons, each new coupon collected is of typewith probability , . If n coupons are collected, find the expected number of distinct types that appear in this set. (That is, find the expected number of types of coupons that appear at least once in the set of coupons.)
There are N distinct types of coupons, and each time one is obtained it will, independently of past choices, be of type i with probability Pi, i = 1, ... , N. Let T denote the number one need select to obtain at least one of each type. Compute P{T = n}.
