Probability and Statistics
Consider the following experiment. You draw a square, of width 1 foot, on the floor. Inside the square, you inscribe a circle of diameter 1 foot. The circle will just fit inside the square. You then throw a dart at the square in such a way that it is equally likely to fall on any point of the square. What is the probability that the dart falls inside the circle? (Think about area!)How might this process be used to estimate the value of π?
Problem 1.
You are playing a version of the roulette game, where the pockets are
from 0 to 10and even numbers are red and odd numbers are black (0 is
green). You spin 3 times and add up the values you see. What is the
probability th at you get a total of 17 given on the first spin you
spin a 2? What about a 3?
Solve by simulation and analytically.
A coin is flipped 8 times in a row (assume all outcomes are equally likely).
For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the
final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4,2)/24 instead of 0.375.
Q1.1 What is the probability that it lands on heads exactly four times?

- Suppose you have two boxes A and B. Box A contains 7 black marbles, 4 white marbles. Box B contains 7 white and 4 black marbles. A random experiment is performed in two sequential trials by first drawing a marble randomly from box A and putting into Box B.

- Three coins are tossed at the same time, each equally likely to come up heads or tails. What is the probability of getting 1 head and 2 tails?arrow_forward6. AND Since there are two zeros on the board, let's determine the probability that you would be able to cover them on 2 consecutive turns. This means you'd have to roll a zero and then roll another zero. You can think of this as an AND probability. You need to roll 0 AND then you need to roll 0 again. Since the result of the first roll will have no influence on the result of the second roll, you can use the following rule: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) a) Determine P(0 and 0). b) Determine 1 - P(0 and 0). c) Write a sentence describing the meaning of 1 - P( Oand 0 ).arrow_forwardOne side of a coin is selected at random ten times, and each time it's either heads or tails.

- Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. You are approached to watch your nephew who likes to play with toy blocks unusually. He has n boxes and the I-th box has simulated intelligence blocks. His game comprises of two stages: he picks a subjective box I; he attempts to move all squares from the I-th box to other boxes. If he can make similar number of squares in each of n−1 other boxes then he will be cheerful, any other way, will be tragic. Note that your nephew can just move the squares from the picked box to the next boxes; he can't move blocks from the other boxes. You would rather not make your nephew dismal, so you chose to place a few additional squares into some containers so that regardless of which box I he picks he will not be pitiful. What is the base number of additional squares you want to put? Input The main line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of experiments.

What is the probability that it's one of the trick coins? (c) Let X be the random variable that represents the number of heads when every coin in the box is flipped.
