A fair coin is tossed three times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH TTT}.

V125BC [204]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the event that at exactly 2 heads occurs

Let s be the sample space

Therefore;

n(s) = 8

n(x) = 3 (HHH, HHT, THH)

p(x) = n(x)/n(s)

p(x) = 3/8

p(x) = 0.375

What is the solution set of |-x|=-10?
Airida [17]
There is no solution. Because the absolute value function finds the distance between the number and 0. And length is never negative.

So, |-x| = -10 has no solution.

This is the rule for how much fabric she needs to buy. • Measure from your waist to the finished length of the pants • Double th
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

She needs 78 inches of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for the amount of fabric that needs to be bought is:

\text{fabric} = 2*x + 8

Where "x" is the distance from the waist to the finished length of the pants. Since Amy's is 35 inches, the amount of fabric is:

\text{fabric} = 2*35 + 8\\\text{fabric} = 70 + 8\\\text{fabric} = 78 \text{ inches}

She needs 78 inches of fabric.

A new medical test provides a false positive result for hepatitis 2% of the time that is a perfectly healthy subject being teste
Oxana [17]
Given that X <span>be the number of subjects who test positive for the disease out of the 30 healthy subjects used for the test.

The probability of success, i.e. the probability that a healthy subject tests positive is given as 2% = 0.02


Part A:

</span><span>The probability that all 30 subjects will appropriately test as not being infected, that is the probability that none of the healthy subjects will test positive is given by:

</span>P(X)={ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}} \\  \\ P(0)={ ^{30}C_0(0.02)^0(1-0.02)^{30-0}} \\  \\ =1(1)(0.98)^{30}=0.5455
<span>

Part B:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by

</span>\mu=np \\  \\ =30(0.02) \\  \\ =0.6
<span>
The standard deviation is given by:

</span>\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(1-0.02)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(0.98)}=\sqrt{0.588} \\  \\ =0.7668
<span>

Part C:

This test will not be a trusted test in the field of medicine as it has a standard deviation higher than the mean. The testing method will not be consistent in determining the infection of hepatitis.</span>
