If you get HT (which happens with probability p(1 − p)), say “Heads”; if you get T H (which happens with the same probability (1 − p)p), say “Tails”. Else, you must have got HH or T T , in which case you repeat the experiment. Note that you dont need ...

... (b) Now show that if X and Y are independent, then for any pair of functions g : R → R and h : R → R we have that E[g(X)·h(Y )] = E[g(X)]·E[h(Y )] (so, for example, we have that E[X n Y m ] = E[X n ]E[Y m ], for any values of n and m). Hint: use the factorization of the joint p.d.f., fX,Y (x, y) = f ...
