(a) A weighted coin hasprobability ofcoming up heads and probabilityof coming up tails. The coin is tossed twice. Let x = number of heads. Set up the sample space for x and the associated probabilities.
(b) Find x and σ.
(c)If in (a) you know that there was at least one tail, what is the probability that both were tails?
Some transistors of two different kinds (call them N and P) are stored in two boxes. You know that there are 6 N’s in one box and that 2 N’s and 3 P’s got mixed in the other box, but you don’t know which box is which. You select a box and a transistorfrom it at random and find that it is an N; what is the probability that it came from the box with the 6 N’s? From the other box? If another transistor is picked from the same box as the first, what is the probability that it is also an N?
You are trying to find instrument A in a laboratory. Unfortunately, someone has put both instruments A and another kind (which we shall call B) away in identical unmarked boxes mixed at random on a shelf. You know that the laboratory has 3 A’s and 7 B’s. If you take down one box, what is the probability that you get an A? If it is a B and you put it on the table and take down another box, what is the probability that you get an A this time?
The following measurements of and have been made.
Find the mean value and the probable error ofand.
A weighted coin with probability p of coming down heads is tossed three times; x = number of heads minus number of tails.
