A coin is tossed 5 times. Find the probability that all are heads. Find the probability that at most 2 are heads.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T) = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15 = 15/32

there are 104 red candies in a candy machine. this represents 26% of the candy in the machine. how many total are in the candy m

Alborosie

There are 400 candies in the machine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of red candies in machine = 104

This represents 26% of the total candies.

Let,

x be the total candies in the machine.

According to statement;

26% of x = 104

$\frac{26}{100}*x=104\\0.26x=104$

Dividing both sides by 0.26

$\frac{0.26x}{0.26}=\frac{104}{0.26}\\x=400$

There are 400 candies in the machine.

Sever21 [200]

For this case we have that the original value of the car is:
m dollars
For the following year we have the value is:
((100-15) / (100)) m
Rewriting we have:
((85) / (100)) m
0.85m
Answer:
the value of his car the year after the car is worth m dollars is:
B.f (m) = 0.85m
