Answer:

The probability distribution of X is:

P(x=0)=0.0625\\\\P(x=1)=0.25\\\\P(x=2)=0.375\\\\P(x=3)=0.25\\\\P(x=4)=0.0625\\\\

Step-by-step explanation:

"Tossing a coin and getting H" can be modelled as a Bernoulli random variable. The variable X is a sum of 4 of this Bernoulli variables, we can model X as a binomial random variable, with p=0.5 and n=4.

The values X can take are: 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The values of this probability are calculated as:

P(x=0) = \binom{4}{0} p^{0}q^{4}=1*1*0.0625=0.0625\\\\P(x=1) = \binom{4}{1} p^{1}q^{3}=4*0.5*0.125=0.25\\\\P(x=2) = \binom{4}{2} p^{2}q^{2}=6*0.25*0.25=0.375\\\\P(x=3) = \binom{4}{3} p^{3}q^{1}=4*0.125*0.5=0.25\\\\P(x=4) = \binom{4}{4} p^{4}q^{0}=1*0.0625*1=0.0625\\\\

Where

p: is the probability of tossing a coin and getting a Heads

q: is the probability of tossing a coin and not getting a Heads.

The binomial number is a way to calculate the possible combinations of getting a certain amount of heads.

For example, in 4 tosses, there are 6 ways or combinations of getting 2 heads and 2 tails:

\binom{4}{2}=\frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!}=\frac{24}{2*2}=6

The formula T= 2pi sqrt(L/32) relates the time, T, in seconds for a pendulum with the length, L, in feet, to make one full swing
pantera1 [17]

Remark

I like to work from the original equation.

Givens

T = 2.2 seconds

pi = 3.14

L = ??

Substitute and Solve

T = 2*pi*sqrt(L/32) Find the value of 2*pi

2.2 = 2*3.14* sqrt(L/32)

2.2 = 6.28 * sqrt(L/32) Divide both sides by 6.28

2.2/6.28 = sqrt(L/32)

0.35032 = sqrt(L/32) Square both sides.

0.122723 = L/32 Multiply both sides by 32

0.122723 * 32 = L

L = 3.927 feet. <<<<< Length pendulum creating 2.2 seconds.

Right answer gets brainlyest
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

\frac{2}{3} (x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} x+4= \frac{2}{3} (x+4÷\frac{2}{3})

\frac{2}{3}x+4 = \frac{2}{3} (x+4×\frac{3}{2})

\frac{2}{3}x+4 = \frac{2}{3} (x+\frac{12}{2})

\frac{2}{3}x+4 = \frac{2}{3} (x+6)

Write an inequality pls help me on this question!
Helen [10]

Answer:

y = -2x + -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -2 because when counting from point to point, its 2 down and one over; 2/1 or 2 (negative because the line is going down)

The intercept in -3 because thats the first place the line touches the y axis.

A cafe makes ten 8-ounce fruit smoothies. Each smoothie is made with 4 ounces of soy milk and 1.3 ounces of banana flavoring. Th
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

27 ounces of blueberry juice. 40 ounces of soy milk. 13 ounces of banana flavoring.

Step by Step:

4 + 1.3 = 5.3, This is how much of the smoothie is made up of the soy milk and banana flavoring, 5.3 ounces.

So to find the amount of blueberry juice in the smoothie you have to subtract 8-5.3. This finds the remaining part of the smoothie, which is the blueberry juice. 8-5.3 = 2.7

2.7 ounces of blueberry juice in each smoothie.

Now you have to multiply every ingredient by 10, since there are 10 smoothies.

4 * 10 = 40

1.3 * 10 = 13

2.7 * 10 = 27

You need 40 ounces of soymilk, 13 ounces of banana flavoring, and 27 ounces of blueberry juice to make 10, 8-ounce smoothies.
