What is the probability you will get one tail? Toss a coin three times

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the probability of getting a tail in three trials.

We will use binomial distribution, given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle P(x)={n\choose x}p^xq^{n-x}[/tex]

We want one success out of three trials. So, n = 3 and x = 1.

The probability for success in one trial is 1/2. So, p = 1/2.

And the probability for failure in one trial is 1/2. q = 1/2.

Therefore, the probability of getting a tail is:

[tex]\displaystyle P(1)={3\choose 1}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle P(1)=3\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

The probability of getting a tail by tossing a coin thrice is 3/8.

Edit:

My apologies. If you haven't learned the binomial distribution yet, below is another method.

Using the fundamental counting principle, we have a total of 2 times 2 times 2 or 8 total outcomes.

We want only one tail. This can be the first toss, the second toss, or the third toss.

So, out of 8 total outcomes, only 3 are favorable.

Hence, the probability of getting one tail by tossing a coin thrice is 3/8.

every computer that a business owner purchases will lose most of its value after 5 years of use. the owner plans to purchase a computer for $2.100 and replace it after 4 years.

The business owner bought a computer that cost $2,400 instead of $2,100. the owner plans to replace the computer after 3 years instead of 4 years. Comparing both methods, which statement is true about the remaining value of this computer after 3 years of use ?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated useful life of a computer = 5 years

Cost of a computer purchased = $2,400

Annual depreciation expense = $480 ($2,400/5)

This means that the business owner chooses to spread (expense) the cost of the computer over 5 years at a rate of $480.

After 3 years, the cost already expensed = $1,440 ($480 * 3)

The Remaining value of this computer after 3 years of use will be $960 ($2,400 - $1,440).

b) Depreciation is an accounting method for spreading (or expensing) the cost of a long-term asset over its useful life.

The scatter plot shows the average weights of children at a pediatrics clinic. Write an equation for the trend line, using the points (5,40) and (0,10).

Answers

Given:

The points are (5,40) and (0,10).

To find:

The equation for the trend line using the given points.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the equation of the line is:

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

Two points are (5,40) and (0,10). So, the equation of trend line is

[tex]y-40=\dfrac{10-40}{0-5}(x-5)[/tex]

[tex]y-40=\dfrac{-30}{-5}(x-5)[/tex]

[tex]y-40=6(x-5)[/tex]

[tex]y-40=6x-30[/tex]

Adding 40 on both sides, we get

[tex]y=6x-30+40[/tex]

[tex]y=6x+10[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of trend line is [tex]y=6x+10[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

From the letters that describe the rays, these two angles are adjacent to each other, and therefore, if the measure of one is 27 degrees and that of the other one is 87 degrees, then the larger angle defined by the two rays (HJ and HK) with common vertex H would be:

Prove that the value of the expression a^2–a is divisible by 2 for any whole value of a.

Answers

Answer with explanation:

To prove: [tex]a^2-a[/tex] is divisible by 2 for any whole value of a.

Consider [tex]a^2-a=a(a-1) \ \ \ \ [\text{ Taking 'a' out as common }][/tex]

Here, a and (a-1) are two consecutive numbers such that,

either of them must be an odd number and an even number.

i.e. a(a-1)= Product of even and an odd number = Even number  [Trivial statement]

⇒ a(a-1) is divisible by 2 [Every even number is divisible by 2.]

⇒  [tex]a^2-a[/tex] is divisible by 2 for any whole value of a.

Hence proved.

Range is the set of y-values or output values.

From the given graph it is clear that,

[tex]f(x)\to -\infty\text{ as }x\to -\infty[/tex]

[tex]f(x)\to \infty\text{ as }x\to \infty[/tex]

And the value function can be any real number. So,

Range = [tex]-\infty<y<\infty[/tex]

Range = [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex]

Range = y is all real numbers.​
