Probability that you will get exactly 4 tails, if you flip a fair coin 7 times is: $\frac{35}{128}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the probability that you will get exactly 4 tails, if you flip a fair coin 7 times.

This is the combination question.

The total combinations will be: 2^7=128

Now, finding number of ways we can get exactly 4 tiles:

We will use the formula:

$^nC_k=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

in our given question, n= 7, k= 4

Putting values:

$^nC_k=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\\^7C_4=\frac{7!}{4!*3!}\\ ^7C_4=\frac{7*6*5*4!}{4!*3!}\\ ^7C_4=\frac{7*6*5}{6}\\ ^7C_4=35$

So, Probability that you will get exactly 4 tails, if you flip a fair coin 7 times is: $\frac{35}{128}$

A car repair center services 920 cars in 2012. The number of cars serviced increases quarterly at a rate of 12% per year after 2

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

920*1.12^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Every year, we see that it goes up 12%.

12% in decimal form is 0.12.

Let's say we have "x" amount of cars one year. The next year, the number of cars will increase by 12%. 0.12x is added on after one year.

So in total, at the beginning of a new year, the number of cars is 0.12x+x = 1.12x.

In this case, we have 920 cars. So if every year the number of cars is multiplied by 1.12, then in "t" years we will have 920*(1.12)^t. We multiply by 920 because that's the current number of cars, and we add the ^t because we multiply by 1.12 every year.

You are very welcome!
