What is the probability of losing 6 times in a row playing Heads or Tails flipping a coin?

2 answers:

6 0

The probability of losing per flip is 1/2. Multiply 1/2 by itself 6 times since the condition is asking for the probability for the person to lose 6 times in a row. 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/64. The answer is 1/64.

A coin has 2 sides so you have a 50% chance at getting the side you choose. If you flip it 6 times you multiply 1/2 by itself 6 times.

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = {\boxed{\frac{1}{64}}$

Answer: $\frac{1}{64}$

a salesperson earns 9 commission on sales.the equation for the amount he or she earns in commission is c = 0.9s, where s is the

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

c = $5,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

c = 0.9s

where,

s = amount sold

c = commission on sales

How much commission will he or she earn if the amount sold is $6,000?

Find c when she = $6,000

c = 0.9s

= 0.9 × 6,000

= 5,400

c = $5,400

(c, s) (5400, 6000)

A recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.

Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 12.56, \sigma^{2} = 6.7^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean time = 12.56 hours

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 6.7 hours

So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X $\leq$ 12)

P(X < 15) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{15-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058

P(X $\leq$ 12) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{12-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)

= 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812

Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725

Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

the bottom of a 22-foot ladder must be placed 7 feet from a wall. to the nearest tenth of a foot, how far above the ground does

Kitty [74]

The ladder, the wall and the floor form together a triangle rectangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle and the floor and wall are the cathetus. We know from Pythagoreas theorem that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the two cathetus squared added, so we can write an equation with the data we have:
hyp^2 = cath1^2 + cath2^2
hyp^2 = wall^2 + floor^2
so we have the hypotenuse value, the floor value and the unknown is the wall height:
(22)^2 = wall^2 + (7)^2
484 = wall^2 + 49
wall^2 = 484 - 49 = 435
wall = √435
wall = 20.9
therefore the ladder touches the wall 20.9 feet above the ground
