Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

<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:

  • The coin is fair, hence p = 0.5.
  • The coin is tossed 10 times, hence n = 10.

The probability that is lands tails up at least nine times is given by:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which:

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

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0098

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.001

Hence:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0098 + 0.001 = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

Would each of these be considered linear or nonlinear functions? Why?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Red is nonlinear, Blue is linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Red is nonlinear because it is arcing and not straight. There is no direct relationship between x and y. Blue is linear because it is straight(linear) and there is a direct relationship between x and y.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey There!

So these triangles are congruent so segment CD is equal to segment DB

so to find x we use the equation

7x+10=10x+7

now we solve for x

step 1 subtract each side by 7

10-7=3

7-7 cancels out

now we have 7x+3=10x

step 2 subtract each side by 7 x

10x-7x=3x

7x-7x= cancels out

now we have

3x=3

step 3 divide each side by 3

3/3=1

3/3 cancels out

now we have

x=1
