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.

Answer:

a. (x+5)^2 = 49

b. (x+7)^2 = (x+1)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So the term "a number" is always going to be x. input x into the sentences. "X plus five, then squared, is forty-nine". when they do "is __", that means equal to. In the second question, seven more than x is x + 7 (the two numbers are interchangeable here). Equivalent also means equal. hope this helped :)
