Answer:
For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61
And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"
And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"
So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"
Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:
Solution to the problem
For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61
And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"
And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"
So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:
Answer:
(a) 27 degrees (nearest degree)
(b) 17.9 m (to one decimal place)
Step-by-step explanation:
Wow, that's along ladder, perhaps for the firemen!
From diagram,
(a)
sin(x) = 9 / 20 = 0.45
x = arcsin(0.45) = 26.74 degrees
(b)
height of wall ladder reaches
h = 20*cos(x) = 20*cos(26.74) = 17.86 m
