Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

For Adult Men

Mean \mu = 69.5

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.4

observed value X = 74

For Adult Women

Mean \mu = 63.8

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.6

observed value X = 70

Therefore ; the values for their z  scores can be obtained in order to determine who is more unusually tall within his or her respective sex

For Adult Men :

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{74- 69.5}{2.4}

z = \dfrac{4.5}{2.4}

z = 1.875

For Adult Women :

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{70- 63.8}{2.6}

z = \dfrac{6.2}{2.6}

z = 2.3846

Thus; we can conclude that , the women is more unusually tall within his or her respective sex

Find the probability for the experiment of tossing a coin three times. Use the sample space S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, T
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

1) 0.375

2) 0.375

3) 0.5

4) 0.5

5) 0.875

6) 0.5                          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample space, S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}.

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

1. The probability of getting exactly one tail

P(Exactly one tail)

Favorable outcomes ={HHT, HTH, THH}

\text{P(Exactly one tail)} = \dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375

2. The probability of getting exactly two tails

P(Exactly two tail)

Favorable outcomes ={ HTT,THT, TTH}

\text{P(Exactly two tail)} = \dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375

3. The probability of getting a head on the first toss

P(head on the first toss)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT}

\text{P(head on the first toss)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

4. The probability of getting a tail on the last toss

P(tail on the last toss)

Favorable outcomes ={HHT,HTT,THT,TTT}

\text{P(tail on the last toss)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

5. The probability of getting at least one head

P(at least one head)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH}

\text{P(at least one head)} = \dfrac{7}{8} = 0.875

6. The probability of getting at least two heads

P(Exactly one tail)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH,THH}

\text{P(Exactly one tail)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5
