What is the measure of <ABD

A coin, having probability p of landing heads, is continually flipped until at least one head and one tail have been flipped. (a

Natali [406]

Answer:

(a)

The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$p^4 (1-p) + (1-p)^4 p$

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1} = 1/p$

Therefore, suppose that $p = 0.5$ , then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Case 1

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$p^4 (1-p)$

Case 2

Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$(1-p)^4p$

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

$p^4 (1-p) + (1-p)^4 p$

(b)

The expected numbers of flips needed would be

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} n p(1-p)^{n-1} = 1/p$

Therefore, suppose that $p = 0.5$ , then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.

1/2 greater than or less than 3/15

Colt1911 [192]

Greater
If we get common denominators
1/2=15/30
3/15=6/30
15>6 therefore 1/2>3/15

Sin4x.sin5x+sin4x.sin3x-sin2x.sinx=0

andreev551 [17]

Recall the angle sum identity for cosine:

cos(x + y) = cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)

cos(x - y) = cos(x) cos(y) + sin(x) sin(y)

==> sin(x) sin(y) = 1/2 (cos(x - y) - cos(x + y))

Then rewrite the equation as

sin(4x) sin(5x) + sin(4x) sin(3x) - sin(2x) sin(x) = 0

1/2 (cos(-x) - cos(9x)) + 1/2 (cos(x) - cos(7x)) - 1/2 (cos(x) - cos(3x)) = 0

1/2 (cos(9x) - cos(x)) + 1/2 (cos(7x) - cos(3x)) = 0

sin(5x) sin(-4x) + sin(5x) sin(-2x) = 0

-sin(5x) (sin(4x) + sin(2x)) = 0

sin(5x) (sin(4x) + sin(2x)) = 0

Recall the double angle identity for sine:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

Rewrite the equation again as

sin(5x) (2 sin(2x) cos(2x) + sin(2x)) = 0

sin(5x) sin(2x) (2 cos(2x) + 1) = 0

sin(5x) = 0 or sin(2x) = 0 or 2 cos(2x) + 1 = 0

sin(5x) = 0 or sin(2x) = 0 or cos(2x) = -1/2

sin(5x) = 0 ==> 5x = arcsin(0) + 2nπ or 5x = arcsin(0) + π + 2nπ

… … … … … ==> 5x = 2nπ or 5x = (2n + 1)π

… … … … … ==> x = 2nπ/5 or x = (2n + 1)π/5

sin(2x) = 0 ==> 2x = arcsin(0) + 2nπ or 2x = arcsin(0) + π + 2nπ

… … … … … ==> 2x = 2nπ or 2x = (2n + 1)π

… … … … … ==> x = nπ or x = (2n + 1)π/2

cos(2x) = -1/2 ==> 2x = arccos(-1/2) + 2nπ or 2x = -arccos(-1/2) + 2nπ

… … … … … … ==> 2x = 2π/3 + 2nπ or 2x = -2π/3 + 2nπ

… … … … … … ==> x = π/3 + nπ or x = -π/3 + nπ
