What is the probability of flipping exactly 6 heads when you flip 6 coins? Please explain your answer and those who waste an ans

kolbaska11 [484]

Binomial probability states that the probability of x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes can be obtained by

(nCx).(p^x)⋅((1−p)^(n−x))

Where success on an individual trial is represented by p.

In the given question, obtaining heads in a trial is the success whose probability is 1/2.

Probability of 6 heads with 6 trials = (6C6).((1/2)^6).((1/2)^(6–6))

= 1/(2^6)

= 1/64

A tin of biscuits contains shortbread and choc-chip biscuits in the ratio 2:3 . The tin contains 80 biscuits. How many short-bre

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 80 biscuits inside the tin.

Also, they said that those biscuits are in the ratio

Short bread : Choc - chip

2 : 3

Altogether there are 5 shares ( 2 + 3)

And now you can divide 80 by 5 to find how many biscuits contain per a share.

80 ÷ 5 = 16

In the question, they asked us to to find the number of short biscuits inside the tin.

Let us find that.

There are 2 shares for short bread biscuits.

So,

Number of short biscuits ⇒ 2 × 16

⇒ 32

Hope this helps you :-)

Suppose that two openings on an appellate court bench are to be filled from current municipal court judges. The municipal court

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$(a)\dfrac{92}{117}$

$(b)\dfrac{8}{39}$

$(c)\dfrac{25}{117}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are without replacement.

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

$P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}$

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)$

$=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}$

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)$

$P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}$

In Part B, $P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}$

Therefore:

$P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}$

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (1, 8) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=x/2+3 ?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer

y = -2x + 10

Explanation

The general equation for a straight line is y = mx + c where m and c are gradient and y-intercept respectively.

y=x/2+3 = y (1/2)x + 3

gradient = 1/2

Gradient of the line perpendicular to y=x/2+3 is;

m × 1/2 = -1

m = -2

Now we find the equation of a line passing through (1,8) and have a gradient of -2.

-2 = (y - 8)/(x - 1)

-2(x - 1) = (y - 8)

2 -2x = y - 8

y = -2x + 10
