Chris runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 35 minutes?

1 answer:

4 0

You could either find how far Chris can run in 60 minutes, or write an equation of ratios:

x 35 min
--------- = --------------
6 mi 50 min

Solving for x: 50x = 210; x = 4.2 miles (answer)

For one toss of a certain coin, the probability that the outcome is heads is 0.6. If this coin is tossed 5 times, which of the f

Answer:

The probability is 0.33696

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the outcome will be heads x times is calculated using the following equation:

$P(x) = nCx*p^{x} *(1-p)^{n-x}$

nCx is calculated as:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

This apply for variables that follows a binomial distribution. In which we have n independent and identical events with two possibles results: success and fail with a probability p and 1-p respectively.

So, In this case, n is equal to 5, and p is equal to 0.6 because we are going to call success the event in which the outcome of the coin is head.

Then, the probability that the outcome will be heads at least 4 times is calculated as:

P = P(4) + P(5)

Where P(4) is:

$P(4) = 5C4*0.6^{4} *(1-0.6)^{5-4}$
