Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.125 = 12.5% probability of observing exactly 3 tails.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, considering 3 tosses of a fair coin, the parameters are n = 3 and p = 0.5.

The probability of 3 tails is P(X = 3), hence:

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

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.125

0.125 = 12.5% probability of observing exactly 3 tails.

Simple math but I can't seem to understand it: x+y=2 becomes y=2-x, in order to find slope and y intercept y=mx+b The result bec
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we started off with the equation:

x+y=2

And we subtracted x from both sides to acquire:

y=2-x

Now, this is essentially slope-intercept form. Recall that the slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we rearrange our equation:

y=2-x\\y=-x+2

And put some parentheses:

y=(-1)x+(2)

We can see that this is indeed slope-intercept form.

And we can see that m is -1 and b is 2.

In other words, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 2.
