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)

Rewrite the following equation into slope intercept form 3x - 4y = 20 and identify the slope and y - intercept.
Vladimir [108]
You solve for y and get
y=3/4x-5
Slope is 3/4
Y intercept is -5

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 3, 4, 5. Can the triangle be a right triangle?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Yes it can

Step-by-step explanation:

To check wether it's a right angle triangle we need to apply the Pythagoras theorem

h^2= a^2 +b^2

Hypotenuse is always the longest side so

5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

This is correct, so the triangle is a right angle triangle

The length, l, of a rectangle is 6/5 its width, w.the length, l, of the rectangle is 12 inches. what is the area of the rectangl
UNO [17]
The area of the rectangle is simply width times length.
Hence, A = w*l = (6/5)*12 = 72/5 = 14.4 square inches (ANSWER)

Answer:

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 1.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture we see:

The radius is 5 units. Each unit is .25 so the radius is 1.25.

The centre or middle M= ( -1, 1 )

Circle with centre M and radius r :

(x - xM)² + (y - yM)² = r²

xM = -1

yM = 1

r = 1.25

(x - (-1))² + (y - 1)² = (1.25)²

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 1.5625
