Hannah has a biased coin.

Look at it this way:

When you flip a coin, the probability of it landing with EITHER side showing
is 100%. 

This leads us to the rule ...

               The sum of the probabilities of
               all possible outcomes is 100%.

For a coin:  (probability of heads) plus (probability of tails) = 100%.

That just says:  We're 100% sure that the coin will land with either
heads or tails up.

An "honest" coin gets heads 50% of the time and tails the other 50%.

But if the coin is all bent and squashed and has a feather stuck to
one side and a wad of gum on the other side so that it comes up
heads 70% of the time, then the coin isn't 'honest'.  But it still has to
land EITHER heads OR tails, so the sum of the probabilities is still 100%.

So the probability of heads is 30%.

What is the value of x and y?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C. x = 8 , y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

since this is an Isosceles triangle 5x = 40° and x = 8

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180°

40° + 5x + 2y + 20 = 180° add like terms

5x + 2y = 120

40 + 2y = 120 ➡ 2y = 80 and y = 40

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (3, -1) and parallel to the line y=2/3x - 5. Show work
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The answer is: y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (3, -1)

Given equation: y = 2/3x - 5, which is in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point slope form of the equation with the point (3, -1) and substitute:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

y + 1 = 2/3x - 6/3

y + 1 = 2/3x - 2

y = 2/3x - 3

Proof:

f(3) = 2/3(3) - 3

= 6/3 - 3

= 2 - 3

= -1, giving the point (3, -1)

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

Hello there!

28 minutes before 11 would be 10:32 since 11:00 - :28 equals 10:32.
