For an in-class demonstration, a teacher flips a fair coin 5 times, and each of the 5 times it lands on heads. A student argues

that it's more likely to land on tails on the next flip. What, if anything, is incorrect about the student's logic?
A.
The student's logic is incorrect; since a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 independent events, the probability of the next flip landing on heads is still 1/2.
B.
The student's logic is incorrect; since a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 dependent events, the probability of the next flip landing on heads is still 1/2
C.
There is nothing wrong with the student's logic; because a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 independent events, the probability the next flip will land on heads is affected by the previous outcomes.
D.
There is nothing wrong with the student's logic; because a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 dependent events, the probability the next flip will land on heads is affected by the previous outcomes.

What is the mean of this data set 82,105,247,119,94,202
Kazeer [188]

To find the mean, add the numbers, and divide by the amount of numbers there is.

(82 + 105 + 247 + 119 + 94 + 202)/6

Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, add

(849)/6

Next, divide by 6

849/6 = 141.5

141.5 should be your answer

hope this helps

Determine the intercepts of the line.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An intercept is where the line hits the axis.

Lets start with x. The x intercept is always going to be what x equals when y = 0. So we know the second value of the x intercept is going to be 0, because the second value is y. The line hits the x axis at -1.2, so the x intercept is -1.2, 0

The y intercept it what y equals when x equals 0. So the first value is going to be 0, to represent x. The line hits the y intercept at the point 0, -0.7.

A number increased by 5 then divided by 2
alex41 [277]

Answer:

(x + 5) /2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" (this will represent as "x")

"increased" another way to say add or "+"

then divided by 2

If you wrote it out like this "x+5/2"it would be wrong because of PEMDAS making you want to divide first instead of after.
