Suppose we flip a coin <m>n</m> times.
|
||||
Let <m>H_i</m> indicate heads on flip <m>i</m>.
|
||||
Let <m>S</m> be the total number of heads in all flips.

Then:

<md>
|

<mrow> S = H_1 + H_2 + \dotsb + H_{n} </mrow>
|

</md>
|
||||
If <m>p</m> is the probability of the coin coming up heads on a flip, then <m>S</m> has the <term>binomial distribution</term> with parameters <m>n, p</m>.
|
||||
We'll use the notation <m>S \sim \Bin(n, p)</m> and:
|

<md>
|
||||
<mrow> b(k) = b(k; n, p) = \Pr(S = k). </mrow>

<p>
|
||||
Suppose the coin has <m>p = 0.3</m> and we flip it <m>n = 4</m> times.
|
||||
Find <m>b(2) = b(2; 4, 0.3)</m>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|

<p>
|

The relevant flip sequences are:
|
||||
<md>
|
||||
<mrow> THHT, HHTT, TTHH, THTH, HTHT, HTTH </mrow>
|
||||
</md>
|
||||
Each individual sequence has a probability of <m>(0.3)(0.3)(0.7)(0.7) = 0.0441</m>.
|
||||
So the total probability is:
|
||||
<md>
|
||||
<mrow> b(2; 4, 0.3) = (6)(0.0441) = 0.2646. </mrow>
|
||||
</md>
|
||||
That is, (number of flip sequences)(probability of each sequence).
