TIFR ECE 2014 | Question: 18
A non-negative loss in a car accident is distributed with the following probability density function \[ f(x)=\frac{1}{10} \exp (-x / 10) \] for $x \geq 0$. Suppose that first $5$ units of loss is incurred by the insured and the remaining loss if any is covered by the ... $5+10 \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ $15 \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

TIFR ECE 2013 | Question: 4
Consider a fair coin that has probability $1 / 2$ of showing heads $(\text{H})$ in a toss and $1 / 2$ of showing tails $(\text{T})$. Suppose we independently flip a fair coin over and over again. What is the probability that $\text{HT}$ sequence occurs before $\text{TT}?$ $3 / 4$ $1 / 2$ $2 / 3$ $1 / 3$ $1 / 4$
