Answer:

249 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem becomes easier if we subdivide the figure, find the areas of the resulting figures and then sum them up.

Draw a vertical line straight down from the edge marked "4 cm" towards the edge marked "18 cm." The resulting rectangle on the left is 15.5 cm long and (18 - 7.5) cm wide, or 15.5 by 10.5 cm. Its area is 162.75 cm^2.

Next, find the area of the rectangle on the right of the line we drew. Its width is 7.5 cm and its height (15.5 - 4) cm, resulting in an area of 86.25 cm^2.

Last, add together these two subareas: combine 86.25 cm^2 and 162.75 cm^2. The total area of the composite figure is then 249 cm^2 (answer).

What is the conditional probability that exactly four heads appear when a fair coin is flipped five times

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

5/32

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coin if flipped five times with four heads, then it has exactly one tail. The number of way to arrange four heads and one tail are as follows:

T H H H H

H T H H H

H H T H H

H H H T H

H H H H T

Essentially, there are five way because there are five "positions" where the tail could be.

Then, you need to find the total amount of possibilities for flipping a coin five times. Every time you flip it, there are two possibilities- heads and tails. Therefore, for five flips, the total amount of possibilities is

2x2x2x2x2 = 32

You know that

probability= # of desired outcome

----------------------------------

# of total outcomes

So the probablity is 5/32.
