Suppose that a biased coin that lands on heads with probability is flipped times. Given that a total of heads results, find the conditional probability that the first outcomes are
(a) (meaning that the first flip results in heads, the second is tails, and the third in tails);
(b)
One of the numbers through is randomly chosen. You are to try to guess the number chosen by asking questions with 鈥測es-no鈥 answers. Compute the expected number of questions you will need to ask in each of the following two cases:
(a) Your ith question is to be 鈥淚s it i?鈥 i = . (b) With each question, you try to eliminate one-half of the remaining numbers, as nearly as possible.
It is known that diskettes produced by a certain company will be defective with probability ., independently of one another. The company sells the diskettes in packages of size and offers a money-back guarantee that at mostof the diskettes in the package will be defective. The guarantee is that the customer can return the entire package of 10 diskettes if he or she finds more than 1 defective diskette in it. If someone buys 3 packages, what is the probability that he or she will return exactly 1 of them?
