Answer:

0.050328

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 10 coins, out of which 9 are fair and one is double headed.

P(selecting fair coin) = 0.9 and P(selecting double headed coin) = 0.1

P(H/fair coin)= 0.5 and P(H/doube headed ) = 1

Probability of getting in 1 toss head = Prob of selecting fair coin and getting head+ Prob of selecting double headed and getting head

= 0.9*0.5+0.1*1\\=0.55

This will be constant p for 10 trials going to be done because coin is replaced each time.

Also there are only two outcomes

X no of heads in 5 flips is Binomial with (5, 0.55)

P(x=5) = Reqd probability

= 0.55^5\\=0.050328

Is it true or false that 16.371 rounded to the nearest whole number 16 feet per second
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

To round off a number to its nearest whole number, look at the first number after the decimal point. If the number is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the number before the decimal point. If it is  less than 5, add zero.

Because the first number after the decimal point is 3, which is less than 5, add zero to 16 . 16 + 0 = 16

If the number were 16.571, rounding off to the nearest whole number would give 17

Find the common fraction equivalent to 0.12
jonny [76]
The answer is:  " \frac{4}{33} "  .
______________________________
Given:  0.1212121212..... repeating ;  write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given:  "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;  

→ that is to say; "0.12 ...  ;  {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ; 
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as:  "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________ 


Note:  "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely;  =  "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:

Let us say that we have: 

"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;  

In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ;  the "9" decimal repeats infinitely; 
_____________________________________________________
   Then "10x" ;  (that is: "10" multlipled by "x";  or "10*x" or "10x" );  is equal to:

"10" * (0.999999.....)  = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);

in other words:  10x = 9.99999999....

Divide each side by "10" ;

to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;

But if you have:  "10x = 10" ;  divide each side of the equation by "10" ; 
   you get: "x = 1" . 
____________________
Also,  if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely); 

then:  10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
           10x  =  9.999999999999999......
       −     x  =  0.999999999999999.......
    _____________________________________
            9x  =  9.00000000000000000000.....

 →  9x = 9 ; 

Divide each side of the equation; to get; 

 9x /9 = 9/ 9 ;  to get:  x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ;  so
  x= 0.99999.... = 1 ; 
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ; 
  that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ;  since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
            So;  0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);            
                   
=  12/99 ;  which can be simplified;

Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
  " 12/99 "  =  "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
_________________________________________
The answer is:  \frac{4}{33}  .
