Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

even though the probability of the coin of landing on either side is .5, there is a deviation on which side the coin lands on. So each time a coin lands there is .5 chance it lands on heads but is not guaranteed a 50/50 split for the overall experiment

What is the approximate distance between points A and B?

shepuryov [24]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[1-(-2)]^2+[4-(-3)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(1+2)^2+(4+3)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{9+49}\implies d=\sqrt{58}\implies d\approx 7.62$
