Answer:

0.29125 or 29.125%

Step-by-step explanation:

For the five fair coins, the probability of coming up head when flipped is 0.5, so for two flips: 0.5*0.5 = 0.25, for each of these coins. So, the probability to take on of them is 5/8, and the probability of coming up with head: (5/8)*0.25 = 0.15625.

For the unfair coins, the probability of coming up with heads is 0.6, so for two flips: 0.6*0.6 = 0.36 for each unfair coins. The probability to chose one of them is 3/8, and the probability of coming up with head: (3/8)*0.36 = 0.135.

These probabilities are dependent, so to have the total probability we must sum them:

P = 0.15625 + 0.135

P = 0.29125 or

P = 0.29125 x 100% = 29.125%

Evaluate the definite integral. <br> 1 x4(1 + 2x5)5 dx.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the definite integral \int\limits {\dfrac{x^4}{(1-2x^5)^5} } \, dx, we to evaluate it. Using integration by substitution method.

Let u = 1-2x⁵ ...1

du/dx = -10x⁴

dx = du/-10x⁴.... 2

Substitute equation 1 and 2 into the integral function and evaluate the resulting integral as shown;

= \int\limits {\dfrac{x^4}{u^5} } \, \dfrac{du}{-10x^4}

= \dfrac{-1}{10} \int\limits {\dfrac{du}{u^5} }  \\\\= \dfrac{-1}{10} \int\limits {{u^{-5}du }  \\= \dfrac{-1}{10} [{\frac{u^{-5+1}}{-5+1}]  \\\\= \dfrac{-1}{10} ({\frac{u^{-4}}{-4})\\\\

= \dfrac{u^{-4}}{40} \\\\\\= \dfrac{1}{40u^4} +C

substitute u = 1-2x⁵ into the result

= \dfrac{1}{40(1-2x^5)^4} +C

Hence\int\limits {\dfrac{x^4}{(1-2x^5)^5} } \, dx = \dfrac{1}{40(1-2x^5)^4} +C

Let f(x) = x2- 3x - 7. Find f(-3)
Alexxx [7]
F(x) = x^2 - 3x - 7
f(-3) = (-3)^ 2 - 3(-3) - 7
f(-3) = 9 + 9 - 7
f(-3) = 18 - 7
f(-3) = 11

neonofarm [45]
The percentage of students voted for colour crimson
=
\frac{90}{60 + 90} \times 100\%  \\  =  \frac{90}{150}  \times 100\%\\  =  \frac{9}{15} \times 100\% \\  = 60\%
