Answer:

Probability of tails = 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcome to the total number of outcomes.

Total number of outcomes = Total number of heads + Total number of tails

= 165 + 172 = 337

Number of favorable outcome = Total number of tails = 172

$\texttt{Probability}=\frac{172}{337}=0.51$

165+172=337

172/337 is the experimental probability of tails.

Hope this helps!

Hey!

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

Solution:

9 + 22 = x + 1

9 + 22 - x = x + 1 - x

31 - x = 1

31 - x 31 = 31 - 1

x = 30

Answer:

x = 30

Your neighbor has a bag with 5 oranges and 7 apples in it. You will be receiving two pieces of fruit from your neighbor. What is

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

31.82% probability that you will receive 2 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruits are removed from the bag, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

5 + 7 = 12 total fruits, which means that $N = 12$

7 apples, which means that $k = 7$

You receive 2 fruits, which means that $n = 2$

What is the probability, in percent, that you will receive 2 apples, assuming she removes them from the bag in random order?

This is, as a proportion, P(X = 2). So

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 2) = h(2,12,2,7) = \frac{C_{7,2}*C_{5,0}}{C_{12,2}} = 0.3182$

0.3182*100% = 31.82%

31.82% probability that you will receive 2 apples.

One of the roots of the quadratic equation dx^2+cx+p=0 is twice the other, find the relationship between d, c and p

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$c^2 = 9dp$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$dx^2 + cx + p = 0$

Let the roots be $\alpha$ and $\beta$

So:

$\alpha = 2\beta$

Required

Determine the relationship between d, c and p

$dx^2 + cx + p = 0$

Divide through by d

$\frac{dx^2}{d} + \frac{cx}{d} + \frac{p}{d} = 0$

$x^2 + \frac{c}{d}x + \frac{p}{d} = 0$

A quadratic equation has the form:

$x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

So:

$x^2 - (2\beta+ \beta)x + \beta*\beta = 0$

$x^2 - (3\beta)x + \beta^2 = 0$

So, we have:

$\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta$ -- (1)

and

$\frac{p}{d} = \beta^2$ -- (2)

Make $\beta$ the subject in (1)

$\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta$

$\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}$

Substitute $\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}$ in (2)

$\frac{p}{d} = (-\frac{c}{3d})^2$

$\frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}$

Multiply both sides by d

$d * \frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}*d$

$p = \frac{c^2}{9d}$

Cross Multiply

$9dp = c^2$

$c^2 = 9dp$

Hence, the relationship between d, c and p is: $c^2 = 9dp$
