Answer:

The probability of getting all heads is \frac{1}{256}.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each time the coin is tossed, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is heads, or it is not. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which 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)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

A coin is tossed 8 times. This means that n = 8

In each coin toss, heads or tails are equally as likely. So p = \frac{1}{2}

What is the probability of getting all heads?

This is P(X = 8)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{8,8}*(\frac{1}{2})^{8}*(1 - \frac{1}{2})^{0} = \frac{1}{256}

The probability of getting all heads is \frac{1}{256}.

Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of ​mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk
agasfer [191]

Answer:

<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>

y = total distance left to cover

-mi/h = speed at wich he is covering ground

b = the total distance to cover from start to finish

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept form without other variables filled is shown like this with <em>mx </em>being the slope and <em>b </em>being the y intercept

<em>y = mx + b</em>

all we need to do is fill in known variables with hours multiplied by <em>x </em>represented as <em>m</em>...

<em>y = (-mi/h)x + b</em>

note the negative symbol, this shows that the higher that miles an hour (mi/h) aka speed is, the more distance he will cover REDUCING the distance to cover faster meaning the line will slope DOWNWARD

<em>b</em> would be the the total distance that he has started with, meaning on the point where the line crosses the y axis, the number it crosses at will represent how much he has started with

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y = 3/4 + 2?
Elodia [21]
3/4 because it’s parallel so it has the same slope. It just doesn’t pass through the same line.
