Alex : Hey Bob, I think this coin is biased; I flipped it a few times and it always lends Tail. I think p, the probability of la

nding Head, must be less than 5%. Can you take a look?
Bob: Seriously? I bet it's fair, that is I think p = 1/2. Let me flip it three times and count the number of Heads. If the number of Heads is smaller than some threshold t, then I will buy you dinner. Otherwise, you will buy me dinner.
Alex: Wow Bob, okay! I will go ahead and reserve a fancy restaurant.
Bob: One last thing, though, just to make things fair: pick any t you want, but let's keep the proba- bility that I buy you dinner even if I'm right (that is, even if the truth is p= 1/2) below 10% please.
Alex: Go away, Bob! Stop wasting my time!

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex finally understands how Bob was trying to trick him into winning the bet because of how he puts in the condition for probability being less than 10%. Whichever way the outcome of the coin toss turns out to be, it will be in Bob's favor and Alex will lose the bet. If the coin is flipped 3 times, the probability of having heads exactly twice is \frac{4}{9}

inessss [21]

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

so first the equation for the situation has been given which is

194=1/2x + 2x - 16

now you can just solve since it's a linear equation

194=2.5x -16

take 16 to the other side to get

210=2.5x

solve to get x (adult price)

which is 84

remember the. child's price is 8 less

Which of the following statements best describes the graph of x + y = 4?
vaieri [72.5K]
The last one is the only one that will work.
For the first one the y intercept is when x = 0. The point would be 0,4

The second one gives a point of (4,0)

The third one is nonsense. (4,4) is not on this line.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

y = x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to use point-slope form.:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute the numbers into the equation:

y - (-8) = 1(x - 0)

y + 8 = x

y = x - 8
