Question: Bob has two coins, A and B , in front of him. The probability of Heads at each toss is p=0.5 for coin A and
Bob has two coins,AandB, in front of him. The probability of Heads at each toss isp=0.5for coinAandq=0.9for coinB.
Bob chooses one of the two coins at random (both choices are equally likely).
He then continues with5tosses of the chosen coin; these tosses are conditionally independent given the choice of the coin.
Let:
Hi:the event that Bob'sith coin toss resulted in Heads;
N:the number of Heads in Bob's coin tosses.
Fori{0,1,...,5},pN(i), the pmf ofN, is of the form: 1/2*Binomial[5,a] * b^5 + c * Binomial[5,d] * q^e * (1q)^f.
- Find the coefficientsa,b,...,f
- Find E[N]
- Find var(N | A, H1, H2)
- Are the events H1 and {N = 5}, independent?
- Given the 3rd toss resulted in Heads, what is the prob. that coin A was chosen?
