If 20 coins are tossed, find the probability that they'll all land on tails.

1 answer:

5 0

The odds of 1 coin landing tails is 1/2, for 2 coins it would be 1/4, 3 would be 1/8, 4 would be 1/16, etc.

the way you find this is by doing 1/2^n where n is the number of coins you have. if you plug in 20, you get 1/1,048,576

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $11 plus an additional $0.16 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $29 p

Answer:

The plans will cost the same when the amount you have to pay for talking for "x" minutes on Plan A is the same has what you have to pay for talking for the same number of "x" minutes when using Plan B.

$$ Plan A = $$ Plan B

To find the charge on each plan we add the base rate to the per minute call rate for each.

Plan A = $27 + $0.11x

Plan B = $13 + $0.15x

Let's drop the $ sign for now and get rid of the decimal point by multiplying by 100.

2700 + 11x = 1300 + 15x

Subtracting 11x and 1300 from both sides:

4x = 1400

x = 350 min.

Using this result the plans both cost $65.50 for 350 min of talk time.
