What is the probability that a coin will be flipped 4 times and the result will be HTHT?

I think the answer is 1/16 because there is only one way that HTHT can fall out of 16 possible outcomes. That's what I think. Hope this helps!

Hello!

With every flip of a coin, the chances of flipping heads or tails are the same; 50% chance of either.

For your question, you are asking what the probability of getting heads, tails, heads, and tails (in that order) is.
To find the probability, your formula will be 1/2 multiplied four times. 1/2 because of the 1 side that you are aiming to flip (heads on the first flip) divided by the amount of sides there are on a coin (2).
Because you are flipping the coin four times, you will multiply the fraction four times.
1/2x1/2x1/2x1/2
Once this is multiplied, your answer is 1/16.

The probability that a coin will be flipped 4 times and the result will be HTHT is 1/16.

I hope this helps you!!

LOTS OF POINTS!?!?!?Write a linear function f with the values f(5)=−1 and f(0)=−1.<br> f(x)=

Brut [27]

Answer:

The euation of the linear function is:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

As the function has the values

at x = 5, f(5) = -1

at x = 0, f(0) = -1

Thus, the two points are:

(5, -1)

(0, -1)

Finding the slope between (5, -1) and (0, -1)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(5,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:-1\right)$

$m=\frac{-1-\left(-1\right)}{0-5}$

$m=0$

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

We also know that the y-intercept can be computed by setting x=0 and finding the corresponding value of y.

so at x = 0, y = -1

Thus, the y-intercept 'b' = -1

Now, substituting m = 0 and b = -1 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = 0x + -1

y = -1

Therefore, the euation of the linear function is:

y = -1

What is the solution to the equation below? <br>-3 + sqrt 2x - 1 =8

sattari [20]

Answer:

$x=61$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3+\sqrt{2x-1} =8$

$\sqrt{2x-1} -3=8$

<u><em>Add 3 to both sides of the equation:</em></u>

$\sqrt{2x-1}-3+3=8+3$

$\sqrt{2x-1}=11$

<u><em>Solve the square root:</em></u>

$\sqrt{2x-1}=11$

$2x-1=11^{2}$

$2x-1=121$

$2x-1+1=121+1$ <em> {add 1 to both sides}</em>

$2x=122$

$x=122/2$

$x=61$

<u><em>hope this helps.......</em></u>
