Danny flips four well-balanced coins. What are the odds that two of the coins will land ‘heads’ up?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.375 = 37.5% probability that two of the coins will land ‘heads’ up

Step-by-step explanation:

For each coin, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it lands heads, or it lands tails. The probability of a coin landing heads is independent of any other coin. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Four well-balanced coins.

This means that [tex]n = 4, p = 0.5[/tex]

What are the odds that two of the coins will land ‘heads’ up?

This is P(X = 2).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.375[/tex]

0.375 = 37.5% probability that two of the coins will land ‘heads’ up

Find the equation of circle passing through points (5 7) and (2 -2 ) whose center lies on the 2x-y=1​

Answers

Answer:

(x-2)²+(y-3)²=5².

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the equation of line through points (5;7) and (2;-2) is:

[tex]\frac{x-5}{3} =\frac{y-7}{9}; \ => \ 3x-y-8=0.[/tex]

2. to find the equation of the line, which is perpendicular to the line 3x-y-8=0:

the vector (3;-1) is perpendicular to the line 3x-y-8=0 and it is the vector-pointer for the requred line, and if |n₁|*|n₂|=0 (where n₁ is normal vector to the line 3x-y-8=0 and n₂ is normal vector to the required line), then 3*x-1*y=0 (where 'x' and 'y' any numbers). x=1; y=3, then n₂(1;3), then the required line is x+3y+C=0, where C - is unknown number.

3. to find the equation of the line, which is perpendicular to the line 3x-y-8=0 and passes through the middle point of (5;7) and (2;-2):

middle point is (7/2;5/2), then after substitution of coordinates of the middle point into the equation x+3y+C=0 it will be 3.5+3*2.5+C=0, ⇒ C= -11.

the required equation is x+3y-11=0

4. to calculate the intersection point of x+3y-11=0 and 2x-y=1:

[tex]\left \{ {{2x-y=1} \atop {x+3y=11}} \right. \ => \ (2;3)[/tex]

the point (2;3) is the centre of the required circle.

5. to calculate the radius² of the required circle:

r²=(5-2)²+(7-3)² or r²=(2-2)²+(2+3)², then r²=5².

6. if the centre of the required circle is (2;3) and its r²=25, then it is possible to make up the equiation of the circle:

(x-2)²+(y-3)²=5².

What is the median of the numbers 312, 336, 488, 384, 368, 336, 416, 624

Answers

Answer:

376

Step-by-step explanation:

312,336,336,368,384,416,488,624

the middle numbers are 368 and 384

the median is the middle of the middle numbers

to find this number we add up 368 and 384 and divide the answer by 2

368+384=752

752/2=376

Answer:

376

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the median you have to first arrange the numbers in numerical order.

2. Count how many numbers you have.

3. Divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next highest position to get the median.

So considering you have 8 numbers if you divide 8 ÷ 2 = 4

the 4th number arranged is 368. Now to average 368 and 384. 368+384=752

752 ÷ 2 = 376

Write in standard format

x^2+2x-3 = 0

Get the value of a, b and c

The standard form is ax^2+bx+c = 0

ax^2 = x^2

a = 1

bx = 2x

b = 2

c = -3

Substitute into the general formula

x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a
