Answer: a) 0.079589 b) 0.079656

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of times a coin is flipped = 100 times

Number of times he get exactly head = 50

Probability of getting head = \dfrac{1}{2}

We will use "Binomial distribution":

Probability would be

^{100}C_{50}(\dfrac{1}{2})^{50}(\dfrac{1}{2})^50\\\\=0.079589

Using "Normal approximation":

n = 100

p = 0.5

So, mean = np=100\times 0.5=50

Standard deviation is given by

\sqrt{np(1-p)}\\\\=\sqrt{50(1.05)}\\\\=\sqrt{50\times 0.5}\\\\=\sqrt{25}\\\\=5

So,

P(X

Hence, a) 0.079589 b) 0.079656

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,2) (4,1)
Alisiya [41]

Answer: y=1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line that passes through the points, we need to find out slope, m.

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

We plug our points into this formula to find slope.

m=\frac{1-2}{4-6} =\frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}

Our slope is 1/2. To find our y-intercept, b, we would plug any point into the equation for slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

y=1/2x+b

1=1/2(4)+b

1=2+b

b=-1

Now that we know b, our equation is y=1/2x-1.

If 9 is subtracted from two thirds of a number , the result is 7. find the number.
ankoles [38]
So what you do is (2/3)x-9=7. Add 9 to both sides (2/3)x=16. Multiply by reciprocal on both sides 16 x (3/2). 16 x 3 = 48. 48/2=24
