Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

wow,  they really try to make these probablity questions difficult.  so they say 5 but really,  b/c the 1st one is heads ,  we are tossing the coin 4 more times, to find 3 heads b/c we already got one.    wow,  I'm mad at the teacher that asked this.  :P   Just say 4 flips for 3 heads.

P(H) = heads

P(H) =1/2^{4}   probability is 1/2^{4} because we have two outcomes and four tries.

P(H) = 1/16

P(H>=3)  3 * 1/16

P(H>=3) = 3/16

if there is an argument that you have to take 1/2^{5} into account by the teacher tell them that it was already resolved ,  the first flip is not a "probablity" any longer.  It's heads,  100%  ,  it doesn't affect the next tosses b/c this is a "fair" coin and it's going to land on heads  50% of the time, for every toss.   Just my rant.  :P

The function f (x) has an average rate of change on the interval -2 < x < 3 of 3.4. If f (-2) = 9 then which of the follow
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The value of f(3)=12.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change = 3.4

Interval: -2 < x < 3

f(-2) = 9

We need to find f(3)

The formula used to calculate Average rate of change is: Average \ rate \ of \ change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

here we have a=-2 and b=3

Now finding f(3)

Average \ rate \ of \ change=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\3.4=\frac{f(3)-f(-2)}{3-2} \\3.4=\frac{f(3)-9}{1}\\3.4=f(3)-9\\f(3)=3.4+9\\f(3)=12.4

So, The value of f(3)=12.4

1030 Smart TV's are in Picayune this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 824 is 206

800 ÷4=200

24÷4+6

For 206, then add that to the total, since it is a 25% increase, not just what that 25% is
