What is the conditional probability that exactly four heads appear when a fair coin is flipped five times

Mathematics
1 answer:
cestrela7 [59]3 years ago

Answer:

5/32

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coin if flipped five times with four heads, then it has exactly one tail. The number of way to arrange four heads and one tail are as follows:

T H H H H

H T H H H

H H T H H

H H H T H

H H H H T

Essentially, there are five way because there are five "positions" where the tail could be.

Then, you need to find the total amount of possibilities for flipping a coin five times. Every time you flip it, there are two possibilities- heads and tails. Therefore, for five flips, the total amount of possibilities is

2x2x2x2x2 = 32

You know that

probability= # of desired outcome

                   ----------------------------------  

                      # of total outcomes

So the probablity is 5/32.

Describe the sample space for each of these experiments (a) A coin is tossed and a single die is rolled. (b) A paper cup is toss
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) S={(head,1),(head,2),(head,3),(head,4),(head,5),(head,6),(tails,1),(tails,2),(tails,3),(tails,4),(tails,5),(tails,6)}

b) S={top,bottom,side}

c) S={(Ace of diamonds),(Two of diamonds),(Three of diamonds),(Four of diamonds),(Five of diamonds),(Six of diamonds),(Seven of diamonds), (Eight of diamonds),(Nine of diamonds),(Ten of diamonds), (Jack of diamonds), (Queen of diamonds), (King of diamonds), (Ace of hearts),(Two of hearts),(Three of hearts),(Four of hearts),(Five of hearts),(Six of hearts),(Seven of hearts), (Eight of hearts), (Nine of hearts),(Ten of hearts), (Jack of hearts), (Queen of hearts),(King of hearts),(Ace of clubs),(Two of clubs),(Three of clubs),(Four of clubs),(Five of clubs),(Six of clubs),(Seven of clubs), (Eight of clubs), (Nine of clubs),(Ten of clubs), (Jack of clubs),(Queen of clubs),(King of clubs),(Ace of spades),(Two of spades),(Three of spades),(Four of spades),(Five of spades),(Six of spades),(Seven of spades),(Eight of spades), (Nine of spades),(Ten of spades),(Jack of spades),(Queen of spades),(King of spades)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space is all the possible outcomes from each experiment:

a) The sample has the pairs of the result of the coin (head or tails) and the dice (a number from 1 to 6):

S={(head,1),(head,2),(head,3),(head,4),(head,5),(head,6),(tails,1),(tails,2),(tails,3),(tails,4),(tails,5),(tails,6)}

b) A paper cup can land in three different ways, on its top, bottom or  side:

S={top,bottom,side}

c) The sample space is all the cards in the deck:

S={(Ace of diamonds),(Two of diamonds),(Three of diamonds),(Four of diamonds),(Five of diamonds),(Six of diamonds),(Seven of diamonds), (Eight of diamonds),(Nine of diamonds),(Ten of diamonds), (Jack of diamonds), (Queen of diamonds), (King of diamonds), (Ace of hearts),(Two of hearts),(Three of hearts),(Four of hearts),(Five of hearts),(Six of hearts),(Seven of hearts), (Eight of hearts), (Nine of hearts),(Ten of hearts), (Jack of hearts), (Queen of hearts),(King of hearts),(Ace of clubs),(Two of clubs),(Three of clubs),(Four of clubs),(Five of clubs),(Six of clubs),(Seven of clubs), (Eight of clubs), (Nine of clubs),(Ten of clubs), (Jack of clubs),(Queen of clubs),(King of clubs),(Ace of spades),(Two of spades),(Three of spades),(Four of spades),(Five of spades),(Six of spades),(Seven of spades),(Eight of spades), (Nine of spades),(Ten of spades),(Jack of spades),(Queen of spades),(King of spades)}

#5=48

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the triangle for area is 1/2 time base times hight

The forumale fot the triangle for volume is 1/2 time base times hight

So for number #4 it will be 1/2 x 3 x 7

and number #5, it will be 1/2 x 8 x 12

Consider the function graphed below.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

B. (see attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

All the answers agree that the function is x² for x < 1. Where they disagree is in the slope and y-intercept of the linear portion for x > 1.

The line has a slope that is less than 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so will not be selections A or C, which have slopes of 3.

The y-intercept is clearly positive if we extend the line to the left until it reaches the y-axis. This eliminates selection D from consideration, leaving only selection B.
