Consider the following experiment. We draw a real number p from
the range [0, 1] with uniform probability, and we let the value p
be the probability of getting Heads when we toss a biased coin. We
toss the biased coin a total of n times.
a)
b)Show that the probability of getting y Heads in the n tosses
is 1/ n+1 , which is independent of the value of y.
Show that for an integer values of n and y, where 0 <y <n, we have: I de zi y=0,1,...,n 1 1 dx x'(1 – x)"-4 n+1 (,^) Hint: this requires repeated applications of integration by parts. n
