Alison is learning how to walk. 50% of the time that she takes a step she falls down. Her older brother wants to design a simula

tion to find the probability she will fall down 5 out of the next 7 times she tries to take step. Which simulation design has an appropriate device and a correct trial?

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Alison is learning how to walk.50% of times she takes a step she falls down.

Probability of falling down in next step

Probability of not falling down in next step

From ,the four option given,we have to find the best simulation which her older brother wants to design a simulation to find the probability that she will fall down 5 out of the next 7 times she tries to take step.

While Simulating the Probability of falling down should be

And , probability of not falling down

→→⇒F=Falling, NF=Non Falling

A) Roll a die letting 1 represent Alison falling and 2-6 represent Alison not falling. Roll the die five times.

Incorrect option,probabilities of falling and non falling does not match with Actual probability of falling and non falling.  

B) Roll a die letting 1 represent Alison falling and 2-6 represent Alison not falling. Roll the die seven times.

Incorrect option,probabilities of falling and non falling does not match with Actual probability of falling and non falling.

C) Let Heads represent Alison falling down and Tails representing Alison not falling down. Flip the coin five times.

Simulation is done only five times , that is coin has been flipped only five times.it must have been flipped seven times.Incorrect option.  

D) Let Heads represent Alison falling down and Tails representing Alison not falling down. Flip the coin seven times.

Simulation is done seven times , that is coin has been flipped seven times.So,she should fall 5 times that is head should appear 5 out of seven times, and tail should appear 2 out of seven times.correct option.

Option D

Answer with explanation:

Alison is learning how to walk.50% of times she takes a step she falls down.

Probability of falling down in next step =\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}

Probability of not falling down in next step =\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}

From ,the four option given,we have to find the best simulation which her older brother wants to design a simulation to find the probability that she will fall down 5 out of the next 7 times she tries to take step.

While Simulating the Probability of falling down should be =\frac{5}{7}

And , probability of not falling down1-\frac{5}{7}=\frac{2}{7}

→→⇒F=Falling, NF=Non Falling

A) Roll a die letting 1 represent Alison falling and 2-6 represent Alison not falling. Roll the die five times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{6},P(NF)=\frac{5}{6}

Incorrect option,probabilities of falling and non falling does not match with Actual probability of falling and non falling.  

B) Roll a die letting 1 represent Alison falling and 2-6 represent Alison not falling. Roll the die seven times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{6},P(NF)=\frac{5}{6}

Incorrect option,probabilities of falling and non falling does not match with Actual probability of falling and non falling.

C) Let Heads represent Alison falling down and Tails representing Alison not falling down. Flip the coin five times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{2},P(NF)=\frac{1}{2}

Simulation is done only five times , that is coin has been flipped only five times.it must have been flipped seven times.Incorrect option.  

D) Let Heads represent Alison falling down and Tails representing Alison not falling down. Flip the coin seven times.

P(F)=\frac{1}{2},P(NF)=\frac{1}{2}

Simulation is done seven times , that is coin has been flipped seven times.So,she should fall 5 times that is head should appear 5 out of seven times, and tail should appear 2 out of seven times.correct option.

Option D

The table below represents a linear function in the equation represents a function. table numbers are X: -1,0,1. f(x): -3,0,3. G
Alexxx [7]
A)
SLOPE OF f(x)
To find the slope of f(x) we pick two points on the function and use the slope formula. Each point can be written (x, f(x) ) so we are given three points in the table. These are: (-1, -3) , (0,0) and (1,3). We can also refer to the points as (x,y). We call one of the points ( x_{1} , y_{1} ) and another ( x_{2} , y_{2} ). It doesn't matter which two points we use, we will always get the same slope. I suggest we use (0,0) as one of the points since zeros are easy to work with.

Let's pick as follows:
( x_{1} , y_{1} )= (0.0)
( x_{2} , y_{2} )= (1.3)

The slope formula is: m= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1}  }
We now substitute the values we got from the points to obtain.
m= \frac{3-0}{ 1-0 } = \frac{3}{1}=3

The slope of f(x) = 3

SLOPE OF g(x)
The equation of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Since g(x) is given in this form, the number in front of the x is the slope and the number by itself is the y-intercept.

That is, since g(x)=7x+2 the slope is 7 and the y-intercept is 2.

The slope of g(x) = 2

B)
Y-INTERCEPT OF g(x)
From the work in part a we know the y-intercept of g(x) is 2.

Y-INTERCEPT OF f(x)
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This point will always have an x-coordinate of 0 which is why we need only identify the y-coordinate. Since you are given the point (0,0) which has an x-coordinate of 0 this must be the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Since the point also has a y-coordinate of 0, it's y-intercept is 0

So the function g(x) has the greater y-intercept

Two lines are intersecting. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. (x + 23) (2x + 4)° Help! Please!!!
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x = 51^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Intersecting lines

Required

Find x

To do this, we make use of:

x + 23^o + 2x + 4^o = 180^o --- angle on a straight line

Collect like terms

x  + 2x = 180^o - 4^o - 23^o

3x = 153^o

Divide both sides by 3

x = 51^o
