Answer:

We assume that we have a fair coin that is p(Head)=p(Tails)=0.5

For this case we define the random variable X as "number of heads observed in 20 times". The distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.5)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

We assume that we have a fair coin that is p(Head)=p(Tails)=0.5

For this case we define the random variable X as "number of heads observed in 20 times". The distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.5)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Answer:

the median is 80.5

Step-by-step explanation:

first we put them in order

75,76,77,79,80,81,85,86,90,91

the median is the middle number...however, in cases where there are an even number of numbers, ur gonna have 2 middle numbers....so u take the average of those 2 numbers...basically, u add them and divide by 2.

So we have 2 numbers in the middle.....we add them and divide by 2 to get the median.

(80 + 81) / 2 = 161/2 = 80.5 <== the median

Michael paid $10.11 for a pair of jeans. This amount included a tax of 2%. What was the cost before tax?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: $9.91

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $9.91 for the jeans. This is calculated by divided the total paid ($10.11) by 1.02, which represents the cost of the jeans + the 2% interest. 10.11 / 1.02 = $9.91.

You can then double check you work by calculating the 2% interest rate of the jeans. $9.91 x 2% = $ .20. The total is $9.91 for the jeans plus $ .20 for the tax, for a total of $10.11, which is the amount in the original problem.

Why don’t Noble Gases have a value for electronegativity?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nobel gases have full shell of valence electrons, that is why they tend to not enter any chemical reactions because they are satisfied while metals have very few electrons in the valence shell, so they are active in any chemical reaction.
