A fair coin is flipped 20 times, and we observe 12 heads. Find the conditional expectation for the
number of heads in the first 10 tosses. Let Y2 represent the number of Heads in 20 independent
tosses. Let Y1 represent the number of Heads in the first ten tosses. Find the conditional
probability mass function for (Y1|Y2) . You should recognize the conditional probability
distribution for Y1|Y2 then the expectation will be straightforward.
