A fair coin is tossed 5000 times. What can you say about getting the outcome of exactly 2500 tails
WINSTONCH [101]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't expect to get exactly 2500 out of 5000 tosses more than a few times . You will come pretty close, but that's only good in horseshoes.

Of course I'm answering this on the basis of a computer language and not actually performinig this a million tmes, each part of a million consisting of 5000 tosses.

Simulations and not completely unbiased, but based on experience, 5000 is a very small number and getting 2500 more than a couple of times is unlikely

Which fraction is closer to 0? 1/8 or 4/9
Cloud [144]
The correct answer is:  " 1/8 " .
__________________________________________________________
Note:  "4/9" is close to "1/2" .  Since "4/8 = 1/2" ;  and since "4.5/9" = "1/2" .

"1/8" is a MUCH SMALLER value than "1/2" ;  

and:  "1/8" is a much smaller value than "4/9".
__________________________________________________________
Hence, " 1/8" is much closer to "0" than "4/9" .
__________________________________________________________
The correct answer is:  "1/8" .
