  3. Back tothefuture Tomatoes Originallyit is comingfromthegenerations of pea. 1. Whatdoes a monogenicinheritancemean? 2. Whatarerecessive-dominantalleles? 3. Whatdoeshomozygous, heterozygousmean? Part III / 3 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  5. Experiments Die Therearethreegivenexperiments. The player must chooseone of them and repeatit 20 times. He writes down onlytheresults of theexperiment. The othershavetofind out whatwasthechoice of theplayer. A: Onethrowsa die and writes 0 iftheresultwas 1 or 2, writes 1 iftheresultwas 3 or 4 and writes 2 iftheresultwas 5 or 6. B: Onethrowsa die and writes 0 iftheresultwas1, 2 or3, writes 1 iftheresultwas4 or5 and writes 2 iftheresultwas6. C: Onethrowsa die and writes 0 iftheresultwas1, writes 1 iftheresultwas2, 3, 4 or 5 and writes 2 iftheresultwas 6. Part III / 5 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  7. Head runs Click here to play movie Head orTails Youget a paper. Therearetwoemptytablesonitsignedwith A and B. Both tableshave 100 fields. Chooseone of thetable and write H or T inthefieldsasyoucanimagine a random headortail series. Youdonotnecessarilyhavetochoosetable A. Pleasereadthepagefullbeforeyou start it.

  8. Head runs Head runs List allpossiblesequencesin a threelong H-T series. Derivetheprobability of thelongestheadrun. Letussupposethatthecoin is fair, sotheprobability of head and tail is ½. Calculatetheaveragelength of thelongestheadrun. 1/8 · 0 + 4/8 · 1 + 2/8 · 2 + 1/8 ·3 = 11/8 Part III / 8 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  9. Head runs Head runs Couldyourepeattheabovecalculationsfor 4, 5, 6, …, n longcointossing series? Part III / 9 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  10. Head runs Head run I saythatitwill be easiertodealwiththecumulativenumbers. An(x):= The number of sequencesoflengthninwhichthelongestrun of heads is at most x. Part III / 10 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  11. Head runs Head runs Letusseethek = 3 case more accurately. The trivialquestion: If n = 1, 2 or 3 thenhowmanyoutcomesarefavourable? Ifn ≤ 3 thenAn(3) = 2nclearly (anyoutcome is OK). Whatcould be thebeginning of a series ifn > 3. Ifn > 3 theneachfavorablesequence must beginwithT, HT, HHTorHHHT and it is followedby a subsequencehaving no more thanthreeconseqcutiveheads.

  12. Head runs Head runs Part III / 12 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  13. Head runs Head runs Couldyouwrite a recursion formula forAn(3)? The properrecursion is An(3) =An -1(3) + An -2(3) + An -3(3) + An -4(3) forn > 3 The values of An(3) are Part III / 13 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  14. Head runs Headsortails Wecancode a TH sequenceinto a onesignshorterDSsequence. IfwedenoteBn(x) thenumber of sequenceswhenthelongest H or T run is at most x, then Bn(x) = 2An – 1(x – 1) for x ≥ 1 Part III / 14 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  15. Head runs Head ortails / average Let P(head) = p and P(tail) = q. (p + q = 1) Ifit is a fair cointhenp = q = ½. Everyheadrunstartsatthebeginningorafter a tail. (Wewillallow 0 longheadruns.) Therewill be ≈nqheadruns. Therewill be ≈nqpheadrunscontainsatleastonehead. Therewill be ≈nqp2headrunscontainsatleasttwoheads. Therewill be ≈nqpxheadrunscontainsatleastx heads. Ifp = ½ then If Part III / 15 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche

  16. Head runs Whichdice is better Andrew has threedice. Theyarenotregularbutthepointsonthem: X: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 6 Y: 2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5 Z: 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 Bruno thinksit over verycarefully and choosesone of thedice. Afterthis Andrew choosesone of thetworemainderdice. Both of themthrowtheirown die and thebigger is thewinner. Is it a fair game ornot? Who has a chancetowin?

  17. Head runs Which series arebetter Andrew and Bruno play a new game. They flip a coinseveraltimes and iftherearetwoconsecutiveheadsbefore a head-tailpairinthisorderthen Andrew winotherwise Bruno. Forexample: TTHH (Andrew win), TTHT (Bruno win) Is it a fair game? If Part III / 17 – Probability, experiments, statistic Gergely Wintsche
