Answer:

B. 5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair coin,

Probability of a head, P(H) = 1/2 = 0.5

Probability of a tail , P(T) = 1/2 = 0.5

The number of possible outcomes is small enough to simply list the outcome:

The possible outcomes of flipping a coin 7 times and getting heads 6 times are these 7 possibilities:

THHHHHH

HTHHHHH

HHTHHHH

HHHTHHH

HHHHTHH

HHHHHTH

HHHHHHT

The probability of EACH of the above outcomes is

= (0.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)

= (0.5)⁷

Since there are 7 possibilities and since the probabilities of every outcome is identical, the probability of rolling the 7 outcomes is,

= 7 x probability of each outcome

= 7 x (0.5)⁷

= 0.5468

= 5.468%

= 5.5% (nearest tenth)

X divided by 8=1.5 divided by 2<br><br> solve for "x"
Travka [436]
1. 1,5 divided by 2 is 0,75 so on the right side its 0,75

2. We make x/8 = 0,75 | *8

so we get: x = 0,75 * 8

which is the same as x = 6

so the answer is x = 6

Heather runs 7 miles in 80 minutes.

At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 64 minutes?

Let x represent miles would she run in 64 minutes?

Question Sets Up the Proportion

7/80= x/63    |Cross Multiplying to solve for x

     x = 7*64/80

     x = 5.6mi

Dave receives a salary of $200 a week plus a commission of 10% of his weekly sales. An equation y = m x + b represents Dave’s we
vovangra [49]

Answer:

y = 0.1x+200

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's establish that:

x is independent

y is dependent

Basically, the value of y will depend on what x is.

The problem states that the slope of the line is Dave's comission, so since he makes 10% of comission, we can make the slope as 0.1x (mx)

The problem also states that the y intercept (b) is Dave's base salary, and earlier in the problem it states that his base salary is $200 a week. Therefore, b=200

now, the equation is:

y=0.1x+200

Hope this helps!
