When 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?
Let be a Poisson random variable with parameter . What value of maximizes
Let X represent the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails obtained when a coin is tossed n times. What are the possible values of X?
Compare the Poisson approximation with the correct binomial probability for the following cases:

A ball is drawn from an urn containing white and black balls. After the ball is drawn, it is replaced and another ball is drawn. This process goes on indefinitely. What is the probability that the first balls drawn, exactly are white?
