A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 23 times, and the man is asked to predict

The probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP is 0.99979

<h3>What is the probability of determining that he would have done well with no ESP?</h3>

To determine the probability, we need to first find the probability of doing well with ESP.

The probability of having 20 correct answers out of 23 coin flips is:

\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}}

Since we have 20 correct answers, we also need to find the probability of getting 3 answers wrong, which is:

\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}

There are (^{23}_{20}) = 1771 ways to get 20 correct answers out of 23.

Therefore, the probability of doing well with ESP is:

\mathbf{= 1771 \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}} \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}

= 0.00021

The probability that he would have at least done well if he had no ESP is:

= 1 - 0.00021

= 0.99979

What is the least common denominator of 1/4, 3/7, 1/11
inna [77]
Alright. One way you can do this is to list multiples of each denominator:

1/4:
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36...... and so on

3/7:
7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 57, 63......

1/11;
11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88......

Keep going until you see the least common denominator!

Now an easier way to do this is by multiplying all of the numbers in the denominator then get the factors:

4*7*11 = 308

And since those are not divisible by a whole number (besides 4 but 308 won't be divisible by 2*7*11)

Therefore 308 is the least common denominator.

A home seller wants to net $15,000. If he has agreed to pay a 5% commission, the loan payoff is $94,000 and closing costs are $1
NeX [460]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $131,600

Step-by-step explanation:

If the listing price is P, then the net is the difference between that and all of the various costs.

  P -(5%×P) -94,000 -16000 = 15,000

  0.95P = 125,000

  P ≈ 131,600 . . . . . . divide by 0.95

The minimum listing price must be $131,600.
