A fair coin is continually flipped until heads appears for the 10th time. Let X denote the number of tails that occur. Compute t

he probability mass function of X.

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

Answer:

The probability mass function is expressed as:

P(x) = [(x+r-1)C(r-1)]*[p^r]*[(1-p)^x]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a binomial distribution. It is actually a negative binomial distribution. The probability mass function is expressed below:

P(x) = [(x+r-1)C(r-1)]*[p^r]*[(1-p)^x]

where:

x = number of failures

r-1 = number of successes (10 in this scenario)

p = probability of a success

nCr = n!/[r!(n-r)!]

The main formula difference in the positive binomial versus negative binomial is this: With respect to the negative binomial, it is obviously  known that the last event will be: when we reach our 10th "head", we stop .

Thus, the last flip will ALWAYS be a "head".

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

third side is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras theorem,

(√33)² + l² = 7²

33 + l² = 49

l² = 49 - 33

l² = 16

l = √16

l = 4
