Description: The histogram above is symmetric. Prove that this is true for any binomial random variable of equal probability. That is, show that if N is a binomial random variable with parameters n and p = 0.5, we have P(N = k) = P(N = n-k) Binomial distribution

Say you observe 4 independent Bernoulli random variables with a probability of success 0.2. Label them x1, x2, x3, X4. Keep in mind that the sum of Bernoulli random variables has a Binomial distribution, i.e. P(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = k) = 4! 0.2*0.84-k, for k = 0,1,2,3, 4. (4 – k)!k!

Mike has a deck of standard poker cards with some cards missing. He wants to estimate the probability, p, of drawing a spade. Every day he makes an experiment. At the end of each experiment, he records the maximum likelihood estimator of the probability of observing a spade and places the drawn card back and shuffles the deck. Let X; be a random variable, taking value 1 if the i-th card draw of an experiment results in an even number and 0 if it results in an odd number. Clearly, X, ~ Bernoulli(p). Recall the MLE of a Bernoulli is p MLE The following are the outcomes of 5 experiments, one of which involved 8 card draws, two of which involved 6 card draws and two of which involved 4 card draws. Which experiments lead to the same MLE of p? Select all that apply.

Determine which of these statements is correct/incorrect and explain the reason why. a. X is a discrete random variable. Therefore, P(9 < X < 11) = P(X=9) + P(X=10) + P(X=11) b. The probability of flipping two coins will result in one head and one tail is 1/2 c. K and L are mutually exclusive events. P(K)=0.3 and P(L)=0.4. Hence, P(K∩L) = 0.12 d. There are mass points that have a probability of zero. That is, if x is a mass point, then it's possible that P(X=x) = zero.
A boy uses a homemade metal detector to look for valuable metal objects on a beach. The machine isn't perfect-it identifies only 98% of the metal objects over which it passes, and it identifies 4% of the nonmetallic objects over which it passes. Suppose that 25% of the objects that the machine passes over are metal. Find the probability that the boy has found a metal object when he receives a signal from the machine. Show your work.
