Abstract
We study the parity of coefficients of classical mock theta functions. Suppose is a formal power series with integer coefficients, and let be the coefficient of in its series expansion. We say that is of parity type if takes even values with probability for . We show that among the 44 classical mock theta functions, 21 of them are of parity type . We further conjecture that 19 mock theta functions are of parity type and 4 functions are of parity type . We also give characterizations of such that is odd for the mock theta functions of parity type .
