Answer:

0.84306608

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event, e, occurring exactly r times over n trials follows the formula

(n combination r) * p^r * q ^ (n-r)

with p being the probability the event will occur and q being the probability the event will not occur.

I assume you have a calculator/can find one online that can do combinations.

Here, we want to figure out if you get:

- 0 tails

- 1 tail

- 2 tails

If you get 3 or 4 tails, we are getting more than the 2 tails desired

For 0 tails:

- p is the probability a tail will occur = 0.38

- we want it to occur 0 times, so r = 0

- q is (1-p) = 1- 0.38 = 0.62

- we have 4 trials, as we flip it 4 times

(n combination r) * p^r * q ^ (n-r) = (4 combination 0) * (0.38) ^0 * (0.62) ^(4-0) = 1 * (0.38) ^0 * (0.62) ^(4-0) = 0.14776336

For 1 tail:

- p = 0.38, q = 0.62 as with 0 tails

- r = 1, n = 4

(n combination r) * p^r * q ^ (n-r) = (4 combination 1) * (0.38) ^1 * (0.62) ^(4-1) = 4* (0.38) ^1 * (0.62) ^(4-1) = 0.36225856

For 2 tails:

- p = 0.38, q = 0.62 as with 0 tails

- r = 2, n = 4

(n combination r) * p^r * q ^ (n-r) = (4 combination 2) * (0.38) ^1 * (0.62) ^(4-2) = 6* (0.38) ^2 * (0.62) ^(4-2) = 0.33304416

add our 3 probabilities together

0.33304416 + 0.36225856 + 0.14776336 = 0.84306608 as our answer

Solve for y, given that b=22(Round your answer to 1 decimal place, if necessary.)
timurjin [86]

Answer:

37.7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to divde 22/7 to find the scale factor. I chose 22 and 7 because those two sides are ocngruent. We get 3.14. We then have to multiply 12 by 3.14 beacuse that is the side that is congruent with the side y. When you multiply you should get 37.68. Since we have to round we get 37.7.

P(x, y) Q(x,y)
P(-2, -1) start at 0. Go to the left two squares, then go down 1 square. mark a point there
Q(2, 4) start at 0. Go to the right two squares, go up 4 squares. mark a point there.
connect two points
make a right triangle
Then use the pythereom 
4^{2} + 5^{2} = (PQ)^{2}
41 = (PQ)^{2}
\sqrt{41}  = PQ

If f(x)=| x-2 |, then find f(-3)
GenaCL600 [577]

The value of f(-3) is 5.

In order to find this answer, we are going to input -3 in for x (this is what the notation f(-3) means).

f(x)=| x-2 |

f(-3)=| -3 -2 |

f(-3)=| -5 |

Now we have to take the absolute value.

f(-3) = 5

Ava's birthday cake is about 11 7/10 cm long. her candles stick up from the cake an additional 5 4/10 cm. what was the total hig
Virty [35]

Total height of the cake and the candles is 17.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Convert the mixed fractions into decimal expressions.

11 7/10 cm = 117/10 = 11.7 cm

5 4/10 cm = 54/10 = 5.4 cm

  • Step 2: Find total height of the cake and the candles

Total height = 11.7 + 5.4 = 17.1 cm
