Answer:

The probability that a fair coin lands tail up is 1/2, which is equal to 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible outcomes when a coin is flipped (saving for the case when the coin lands on its side.)

  1. The coin lands head-up;
  2. The coin lands tail-up.

If the coin is fair, the two outcomes should be equally likely. In that case, apply the following formula:

\begin{aligned}&\text{Probability that the coin lands tail-up}\\ =&\frac{\text{Number of outcomes that the coin lands tail-up}}{\text{Total Number of equally-likely possible outcomes}}\\=&\frac{1}{2} \\=& 0.5 \end{aligned}.

Credit for the phrasing of this probability formula goes to the Khan Academy article "Probability: the basics".

The equation of the line passing through the points (3, 16) and (5, 10) can be expressed as y = mx + b. Give the value of b
Alenkinab [10]

we are given two points as

(3, 16) and (5, 10)

firstly , we will find slope

slope is m

so, we can use formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug points

m=\frac{10-16}{5-3}

m=\frac{-6}{2}

m=-3

we can plug it in y=mx+b

we get

y=-3x+b

now, we can select any one points

and find b

(3,16)

x=3 and y=16

16=-3*3+b

we can find b

b=25

now, we can plug back b

and we get

y=-3x+25

so, equation is

y=-3x+25

and

b=25...............Answer
