Answer:

(Incorrect)

Step-by-step explanation:

With possibility problems, the fraction is Desired Outcome/All Possible Outcomes. We want heads twice, so our desired outcome is 2. If you flip a coin once, you can land on two sides. So, if you flip twice, you can land on two sides twice (4). The fraction is 2/4. We can simplify this to 1/2.

Answer:

11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

"at least 2 times" means 2 or 3 or all 4 times.

which is the opposite (1 - ...) of getting it 0 or 1 time.

the probabilty of getting heads in one attempt is 1/2.

as is the probability to get tails. no other result is possible.

the probability to get 2 heads (or 2 tails) is

1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4

the probability to get 4 heads or 4 tails is

1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/16

so, the probability to get at least 2 heads in 4 attempts is the same as

1 - the probability to get 4 tails (0 heads) - the probability to get exacting 1 heads =

= 1 - 1/16 - the probability to get exactly 1 heads

the probability to get exactly 1 heads (and therefore 3 tails) is in one possible combination of coin results

1/2 × 1/2×1/2×1/2 = 1/16 (it is funny with coins and only 2 possible results).

but how often can we pick 1 out of 4 (how many combinations of C(4, 1) are possible) ? 4.

so, we need to multiply 1/16 by 4 = 4/16 to get that overall probability.

so, now again, the probability to get at least 2 heads in 4 attempts is

1 - 1/16 - 4/16 = 1 - 5/16 = 16/16 - 5/16 = 11/16

Find the difference -4 -5​
madam [21]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about the Keep and change rule, since this is negative, the more negative numbers there are the more it will go deeper. -4 - 5 is -9 because just create a number line and place -4 one it, then jump backwards 5 times.
