A coin will be flipped repeatedly until the sequence TTH (tail/tail/head) comes up. Successive flips are independent, and the co

Answer:

P = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the value of p minimizes is shown below:-

We will assume the probability of coming heads be p

p(H) = p

p(T) = 1 - P

Now, H and T are only outcomes of flipping a coin

So,

P(TTH) = (1 - P) = (1 - P) (1 - P) P

= (1 + P^2 - 2 P) P

= P^3 - 2P^2 + P

In order to less N,TTH

we need to increase P(TTH)

The equation will be

\frac{d P(TTH)}{dP} = 0

3P^2 - 4P + 1 = 0

(3P - 1) (P - 1) = 0

P = 1 and 1 ÷ 3

For P(TTH) to be maximum

\frac{d^2 P(TTH)}{dP} < 0 for\ P\ critical\\\\\frac{d (3P^2 - 4P - 1)}{dP}

= 6P - 4

and

(6P - 4) is negative which is for

P = \frac{1}{3}

1 2/3*J=15 What is J?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Do you mean:

(1+(2/3))j = 15

((3/3)+(2/3))j = 15

((3+2)/3)j = 15

(5/3)j = 15

j = 15 / (5/3)

j = 15 * (3/5)

j = 9

A circle has a radius of 18 and a center at (10,-9). Find the equation of the circle.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

(x-10)²+(y+9)²= 324.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, you will need to substitute these values into the equation of a circle:

(x-h)²+(y-k)²= r²

'h and k' represent the center points, and 'r' represents the radius.

This will result in:

(x-10)²+(y+9)²=324.
