If a coin has been altered so that the probability of heads coming up is 3/10, then the probability of tails coming up is also 3

soldier1979 [14.2K]

False. In a coin, there are 2 possible out comes i.e. a head and a tail. if p is the probability of one side coming up, then the probability of the other side comin up will be q = 1 - p.

Therefore, if the probability of head coming up is 3/10, the probability of tail coming up will be 1 - 3/10 = 7/10.

A certain cold remedy has an 88% rate of success of reducing symptoms within 24 hours. Find the probability that in a random sam

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Success rate of the cold remedy = 88%

The number of people who took the remedy = 45

Now, 88% of 45 = $\frac{88}{100} \times 45 = 39.6$

and 39.6 ≈ 40

So, out of 45 people, the remedy worked on total 40 people.

Now, let E: Event of people being cured by cold remedy

Favorable outcomes = 40

$\textrm{Probability of Event E} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}$

or, $\textrm{Probability of people getting cured} = \frac{\textrm{40}}{\textrm{45}}$ = $\frac{8}{9}$

Hence, the probability of cured people in who took the remedy is 8/9.

valina [46]

Hello,

Answer A

d :the distance in miles
t: the time in hours
v: the speed in miles/hours (vistesse)

d=v*t
==>d=40*4=160(mi)

d=55*x=160==>x=160/55=2.909090... (mi/(mi/h)=h)≈2.91(hours)
