Answer: 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a fair coin, then generally, P(Head) = P(Tail) = ½

And since we've been asked to find the probability that the number of heads in the first two tosses be equal to the number of heads in the second two tosses, tossing a fair coin four times, the possible outcomes of having equal number of heads in first two tosses and second two tosses becomes:

[HHHH] or [HTHT] or [THTH] or [TTTT] or [HTTH] or [THHT]

=[½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½]

=1/16 * 6

=6/16

=3/8.

Find the equation for the line that passes through the point (−2,0), and that is perpendicular to the line with the equation 2/3
patriot [66]

Answer:

y = 3/2 x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x + y = -14/3

y = -2/3 x − 14/3

The slope of this line is -2/3.  So the perpendicular slope is the opposite of the inverse:

m = -1 / (-2/3)

m = 3/2

We know the slope of the line and a point on the line, so using point-slope form:

y − 0 = 3/2 (x − (-2))

Simplifying into slope-intercept form:

y = 3/2 (x + 2)

y = 3/2 x + 3
