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%.

Martha wrote an example of a quadratic function for a homework assignment. The function she wrote is shown. f(x) = 5x3 + 2x2 + 7

Answer:

The two correct options are:

The first term, 5x³, can be eliminated

The exponent on the first term, 5x³, can be changed to 2 and then combined with the second term, 2x²

Explanation:

The degree of an expression is given based on the highest power in the expression

The given expression is:

5x³ + 2x² + 7x - 3

We can note that the highest power in the given expression is 3 which means that the degree of the expression is 3

A quadratic function is a function of degree 2. This means that the highest degree in the expression (function) must be 2

Accordingly, Martha should get rid of the term with power 3 (5x³) in her equation

This can be done by 2 methods:

1- She simply eliminates the term with the third degree

2- She changes the degree of the term with degree 3 to a lower degree and combines it with any existent like term

Comparing the above with the given options, we can conclude that the two correct options are:

- The first term, 5x³, can be eliminated

- The exponent on the first term, 5x³, can be changed to 2 and then combined with the second term, 2x²

Hope this helps :)

Sonja [21]

Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of all of the data in a set = average * number of data.

Therefore, the sum of the first 10 is 1.5 * 10 = 15 meters, the sum of the second 10 is 1.48 * 10 = 14.8 meters and the sum of the last 2 is 1.6 * 2 = 3.2 meters for a total of 15 + 14.8 + 3.2 = 33 meters. This means that the mean is 33 / 22 = 1.5 meters.
