Answer:
(a)
The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be

Therefore, suppose that
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Case 1
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

Case 2
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be

Therefore, suppose that
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
Your answer would be -2.2
That would be 6 *3 - 8*0 = 18

Answers:
She made ___25___ grams of ___40___% salt solution
------------------------------------------------------------------
The given info "20 grams of 50% salt solution" tells us that we have 10 grams of pure salt
Since 50% of 20 = 0.50*20 = 10
Put another way, we have 10 grams of pure salt out of 20 total so 10/20 = 0.50 = 50% salt solution
The 20 grams of solution updates to 25 grams of solution when we add the 5 grams of water
We don't add any salt, assuming this water is fresh water
So we still have 10 grams of pure salt out of 25 grams now
10/25 = 2/5 = 0.40 = 40% is the new salt concentration
