Answer:
a) 1/64
b) 1/4096
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.
a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64
b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096

<em>Additional comment</em>
The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2x + 4y = 14 = x= −2y+7
3x - 4y = -39= x= 4=3
y−13
Step-by-step explanation:
You write the problem as a mathematical expression
3x^2 + 30x + 75 =
Factor: 3 out of 3x^2 + 30x + 75.
3 (x2 + 10x + 25)
Factor using the perfect square rule.
And then your answer should be 3 ( x + 5) ^2
