ESP Experiment. A person has agreed to participate in an extrasensory perception (ESP) experiment. He is asked to randomly pick two numbers between 1 and 6. The second number must be different from the first. Let H= event the first number picked is a 3, andK= event the second number picked exceeds 4. Determine a.P(H).b.P(K| H).c.P(H&K). Find the probability that both numbers picked are d. less than 3.e. greater than 3.

Assume that we have three coins: The first coin is fair. The second coin is unfair with probability of heads equal to 0.8. The third coin is also unfair with probability of heads equal to 0.3. Consider an experiment involving two successive coin tosses. The result of the first stage of the experiment is determined by the toss of the fair coin. The result of the second stage of the experiment is determined by the toss of a coin, but suppose that the coin that is used depends upon the result of the toss of the fair coin. Specifically, if the toss of the fair coin results in heads, then the second coin is tossed. Otherwise the third coin is tossed. Let Hi and Ti be the events that ith toss resulted in heads and tails, respectively. Answer the following questions. a) Give a sequential description of the experiment using a tree diagram. b) Calculate the probabilities of the possible outcomes of the experiment. c) Calculate P(H2) d) Are the events H1 and H2 independent?

Q18. A biased coin is flipped 6 times. In a single flip of the coin, the probability of heads is 1/3 and the probability of tails is 2/3. The outcomes of the coin flips are mutually independent. What is the probability the first two flips come up heads and the rest of the flips come up tails? (Round to four decimal places.)
