<h2>Answer explanation:</h2>

If a coin is fair then it has two faces , one is heads and the another is tails.

The probability getting any favorable outcomes is given by the formula :-

\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

So the factor effecting probability is just the number of  favorable outcomes and total outcomes.

If a coin is tossed then the probability of getting heads will be :-

P(H)=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5=50\%

To get heads always this should be 1 , which can be happen if number of  favorable outcomes is equal to total outcomes.

i.e. Number of heads = Number of total outcomes, this means coin should be biased.

Catching the coin in mid-air can never be a factor for this.

Therefore, the little brother's theory is false.

So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8

so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6

Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2

Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18

How can you determine the slope and the y- intercept of a line from a graph?
Molodets [167]
Slope: Take two points from the graph, and do y-y, over x-x.

for ex. (1,2) and (2,4) do 4-2 over 2-1. your slope is 2/1= 2


y-intercept: find the one point on the graph that is exactly on the y-axis.

for ex. (4,0)= your y-intercept is 4
