TIFR ECE 2018 | Question: 11
Assume the following well known result: If a coin is flipped independently many times and its probability of heads $(H)$ is $p \in(0,1)$ and probability of tails $(T)$ is $(1-p)$, then the expected number of coin flips till the first time a heads is observed is $1 / p$. What is the ... $\frac{1}{1-(1-p)^{2}}(4+1 / p)$ $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{1-p}$

TIFR ECE 2018 | Question: 12
Suppose that Amitabh Bachchan has ten coins in his pocket. $3$ coins have tails on both sides. $4$ coins have heads on both sides. $3$ coins have heads on one side and tails on the other and both the outcomes are equally likely when that coin is flipped. In a bet with Dharmendra ... that the other side of this coin is heads? $1 / 2$ $3 / 10$ $1 / 4$ $0.3$ $1 / 3$
