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

Mathematics

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.

Josh sold 465 bottles of apple cider and 605 bottles of wine. He made $10,050 altogether. If he sold 465 bottles of apple cider
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

465a + 605w = $10050

465a + 586w = 9822

465a + 605w = 10050

-465a - 586w = -9822

19w = 228

w= $12 each for wine

465a + 605(12)= 10050

465a + 7260= 10050

465a = 2790

a =$6 each apple cider

Roger served 5/8 pound of crackers, which was 2/3 of the entire box. what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box
ira [324]
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box

Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1

So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.

5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16

5/8 + 5/16

Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:

10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16

So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
