Your little brother just learned how to flip and catch a coin. He believes that by catching the coin in mid-air, he can influence the probability that it will land heads up. Based on your understanding of theoretical probability, explain to your little brother why his theory of influence is false.

Answers

Answer 1

By performing two experiments a lot of times, your brother will see that catching the coin mid-air does not affect the probability.

How to explain that the theory is false?

We assume that the probability of each outcome of the coin is equal, so the probability of getting tails is 0.5 and the probability of getting heads is 0.5

Then, you can say to your brother to perform his experiment a lot of times. In two ways.

First, he lets the coin came down to his hand around 100 times.

Then, he catches the coin in mid-air another 100 times.

He will see that the probability of getting heads (or tails) is (almost) the same in both cases, this will mean that his theory is false.

John needs 150 feet of rope to section off part of his barn. At a local hardware store he can buy a 30 yard spool for $24 or he can buy 150 foot at $.25 per foot. Which is the better buy?

Answers

Answer:

30 yards for 24 vs 1 foot for 25 cents

so lets multiple the yards by 3 to see how many feet

90 feet = 30 yards

90 feet 24 dollars

now lets divide 90 by 24

3.75 so 3.75 per foot

so the second one is way better

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer:

150 feet at $.25 per foot ($.75 per yard) is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

150 feet is equal to 50 yards. So 2 30-yard spools would be $48. $48 for 60 yards equals $.80 per yard. So 150 feet at $.25 per foot ($.75 per yard) is the better buy.

The volume that is left to be filled is approximately: 3,332.6 in.³

What is the Volume of a Box?

Volume of a box = (length)(width)(height)

Given the following:

Volume of the bat = 82 cubic in.

Length of box = 30 in.

Width = 18.97 in.

Height = 6 in.

The remaining volume to be filled = volume of box - volume of bat

In terms of the trigonometric ratios for ΔBCE, what is the length of CE? Insert text on the triangle in GeoGebra to show the length of CE. Take a screenshot of the triangle with the text, save it, and insert the image in the space below.

Answers

By applying the law of cosine, the length of side CE is equal to 9.22 cm and the image of right-angled triangle BCE is shown in the image attached below.

How to calculate the length of CE?

In order to determine the length of side CE, we would apply the law of cosine because both side CE and side BC respectively represent the adjacent side and hypotenuse of right-angled triangle BCE.

cos(θ) = Adj/Hyp

Where:

Adj is the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle.Hyp is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.θ is the angle.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

cos(θ) = CE/BC

cos(11.46) = CE/9.41

Cross-multiplying, we have:

CE = 9.41 × cos(11.46)

CE = 9.41 × 0.9801

CE = 9.22 cm.

By applying the law of cosine, the length of side CE is equal to 9.22 cm and the image of right-angled triangle BCE is shown in the image attached below.

Assume the following 5 scores represent a sample: 2, 3, 5, 5, 6. Transform these scores into z-scores. Show all steps

Answers

The z-scores of the scores are -1.34, -0.73, 0.48, 0.48 and 1.10

How to transform the scores?

The sample scores are given as:

2, 3, 5, 5, 6.

Calculate the mean and the standard deviation using a statistical calculator.

From the statistical calculator, we have:

[tex]\bar x = 4.2[/tex] --- mean

[tex]\sigma_x = 1.64[/tex] --- standard deviation

The z-score is then calculated using

[tex]z= \frac{x - \bar x}{\sigma}[/tex]

Where:

x = 2, 3, 5, 5, 6.

So, we have:

[tex]z_1= \frac{2 - 4.2}{1.64} = -1.34[/tex]

[tex]z_2= \frac{3 - 4.2}{1.64} = -0.73[/tex]

[tex]z_3= \frac{5 - 4.2}{1.64} = 0.48[/tex]

[tex]z_4= \frac{5 - 4.2}{1.64} = 0.48[/tex]

[tex]z_5= \frac{6 - 4.2}{1.64} = 1.10[/tex]

Hence, the z-scores of the scores are -1.34, -0.73, 0.48, 0.48 and 1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 18/0

In order to find the slope, we have the formula is

The change of X (Also X minus each other)

Now the first point is (1,10) The Y is 10

                                               The X is 1

Now the Second Point is (1,-8) The Y is -8

                                                     The X is 1

So now we plug the numbers in

10-(-8)

The line equation in slope - intercept form is​

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the slope, but you can find the slope using 2 points.  Slope is the change in y over the change is x.  Your two y's are 1 and 9.  Your two x's are 6 and 4.

1-9/6-2  

1 - 9 = -8

6-4 = 2

-8/2 is -4.

We want an equation in the form y = mx +b.  We have the m (slope), we now just need the b.  We take either of the ordinal points (4,9) or (6, 1) to find b.  They will both work, but the question tells us to us (4,9).  4 is the x and 9 is the y.

y = mx + b

9 = (-4)(4) + b  a negative times a positive is a negative.

9 = -16 + b  Add 16 to both sides

25 = b

We know now m which is -4 and b which is 25.  We plug them into the model y = mx + b

y = -4x + 25

What is the weighted average cost of capital if a business has a cost of equity of 12%, a cost of debt of 10%, tax rate of 25%, 20 million market value of debt, and 60 million market value of equity?

Answers

If the cost of equity is 12% , cost of debt 10%, tax rate 25%, 20 million market value of debt , 60 million market value of equity then the weighted average cost of capital is 10.875%

Given cost of equity is 12% , cost of debt 10%, tax rate 25%, 20 million market value of debt , 60 million market value of equity.

We know that weighted average cost of capital= cost of equity* weight of equity+ cost of debt* weight of debt.

Cost of debt (consider after tax)=10%(1-25%)

=10%*0.75

=0.075

Weight of equity=60/80

=0.75

Weight of debt=20/80

=0.25

Weighted average cost of capital=12%*0.75+0.075*0.25

=0.09+0.01875

Answers

The swimsuits that can be produced with the new partner is  23,043.

The swimsuits that can be produced without the partner is  16,521.

How many swimsuits can be produced?

The equation that relates total cost, operating cost and cost per swimsuit together is

Total cost = operating cost + (cost per swimsuit x number of swimsuits)

500,000 = 120,000 + ($23x s)

500,000 - 120,000 = 23s

380,000 = 23s

s = 380,000 / 23

s = 16,521

Number of swimsuits that can be produced with the new partner:

(500,000 + 150,000)  = 120,000 + ($23x s)

650,000 = 120,000 + 23s

650,000 - 120,000 = 23s
