Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)
Answer:
0.9375
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Number of coin tosses = 7
Probability that number of heads obtained will be between 2 and 7 inclusive?
x = 2,3,4,5,6,7
Probability (P) = number of required outcomes / total possible outcomes
For a coin toss = 1 Head (H), 1 tail (T)
P(H) = 1 / 2
P(X) = C(7,x) * (1/2)^7
P(X) = C(7, x) / 0.5^-7
P(X) = [C(7,2) + C(7, 3)+ C(7,4) +C(7,5) + C(7,6) +C(7,7)] / 128
P(X) = (21 + 35 + 35 + 21 + 7 + 1) / 128
P(X) = 120 / 128
P(X) = 0.9375
1. First I turned the fractions into decimals, just to make things easier for me.2. That gave me => (.25x)+(.75)+(.375)=(3.25)
3. Then, I combined like terms and move my equation around; so, that gave me (.25x) = (3.25) - (.75) - (.375) and when I solve the right side of the equation it gives me
(.25x) = (2.125)
4. After combining like terms and simplifying (the way I did in step 3), I will divide both sides by .25, to get the value of X alone; so, my equation then looks like => x=8.5
