Answer:
a) 1/64
b) 1/4096
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.
a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64
b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096

<em>Additional comment</em>
The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.
Multiply the numbers on the major axis which are 2 and -9 to get -18. Subtract from that 3*4 = 12. So -18-12 = -30. That's the determinant.
Answer:
16 + sqrt(128)
Step-by-step explanation:
find the lengths of all 3 sides:
the side from (-9,8) to (-9,16) will be 16-8=8 (x stays constant)
The side from (-9,8) to (-17,8) is 8 (-9- (-17)=8)
The side from (-9,16) to (-17,8) will be found from the distance formula
d=sqrt((-17-9)^2 + (8-16)^2))
= sqrt(128)
So the perimeter will be these 3 numbers added together
P=sqrt(128) + 8 + 8
= 16 + sqrt(128)
which can simplify to:
= 16 + 4sqrt(8)
= 16 + 8sqrt(2) = 8+ sqrt(2)
