Suppose you flip a coin n times, and the probability of getting heads 15 times is .0148. what n?

With n tosses, there are a total of 2^n possible outcomes. We need 15 of theses to be heads.
Since the tosses are random, we want to count the ways to have exactly 15 of them being heads. That will be C(n,15) ways to pick which tosses are heads.
The probability will be given by:
C(n,15)/2^n=0.0148
At this point we use various values of n until we get the correct probability.
n=18⇒0.003112793
n=19⇒0.007392883
n=20⇒0.014785767
n=21⇒0.025875092

Answer:
n=20

Simplify the sum.<br> (4u3 + 4u2 + 2) + (6u3 – 2u + 8)

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$10u^{3}+4u^{2}-2u+10$ or $2(5u^{3}+2u^{2}-u+5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(4u^{3}+4u^{2} +2)+(6u^{3}-2u+8)$

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable

$(4u^{3}+6u^{3})+(4u^{2})+(-2u)+(2+8)$

step 2

Combine like terms

$(10u^{3})+(4u^{2})+(-2u)+(10)$

step 3

Eliminate parenthesis

$10u^{3}+4u^{2}-2u+10$

step 4

Factor the number $2$

$2(5u^{3}+2u^{2}-u+5)$

Answer:

53.702

Step-by-step explanation:

You split the two numbers into two.

24, 0.41, 2, and 0,2

Then multiply each one by each other

2 x 24

2 x 0.41

0.2 x 24

0.2 x 24

24 x 2

24 x 0.2

0.41 x 2

then add all of them together and you get your answer
