A coin is tossed 5 times. Find the probability that all are heads. Find the probability that at most 2 are heads.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T)  = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15  = 15/32

If you had an individual who was gifted and talented in math, and well above the rest of your class, how might you use different
irakobra [83]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Having students in the classroom who are at different levels of knowledge, interest, and ability can be managed by differentiated instruction. This method is a way of thinking that provides a framework where the instructor can set students with learning tasks that are at levels appropriate with the abilities and interests of each student. Each student can have a different type of class and different type of instruction with the differentiated instruction way of thinking.

A gifted and talented student might be assigned a higher math course, perhaps based on a math assessment for advanced placement. Then students that need to stay on the typical high school path of Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry can do that.

Gifted students might take an alternate path with honors classes or trajectories involving Pre-Calculus or advanced placement Calculus, for example. In some instances, universities have allowed High School students to obtain college credit for some courses taken during High School.

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

Antonia incorrectly solves the equation −2(14−54a)=6 . Her work is shown below.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

For the yes/no bit:

step 1: no

step 2: no

step 3: yes

step 4: yes

step 5: no

for the final answer bit: a = 2  3/5 (the last option)

Step-by-step explanation:

yes/no bit:

step 1 is wrong because she didn't multiply -\frac{5}{4}a by -2

step 2 is wrong because she subtracted 1/2 instead of adding it

step 3 is correct because 6 - 1/2 = 11/2

step 4 is correct because she correctly multiplied both sides by 4

step 5 is wrong because she added 5 instead of dividing by -5.

for the final answer bit, I've attached an image below with my working out. hope this helps!
