Answer:

1-(1-p^n)^m

Step-by-step explanation:

For a coin, the probability of head showing in a single toss is p.

P(H)=p

Its complement, the probability of not head is

P(\Sim H)=1-p

This is a binomial distribution. In n tosses, the probability of having all heads (i.e. n heads) is

P(\text{all heads})=\binom{n}{n}p^n(1-p)^0=p^n

Let's call this value a.

For m coins, we determine the probability of at least 1 coin showing all heads by first finding its complement i.e. the probability of no coin showing all heads. This is also a binomial distribution.

P(\text{no coin showing all heads})=\binom{m}{0}a^0(1-a)^m=(1-a)^m

P(\text{at least 1 coin showing all heads})=1-P(\text{no coin showing all heads})

P(\text{no coin showing all heads})=1-(1-a)^m=1-(1-p^n)^m

If sin(x) = squareroot 2 over 2 what is cos(x) and tan(x)
Bumek [7]

Answer:

cos(x) = square root 2 over 2; tan(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

was, before it was rationalized,

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

Therefore,

sin(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

The side opposite the reference angle measures 1, the hypotenuse measures square root 2.  That makes the reference angle a 45 degree angle.  From there we can determine that the side adjacent to the reference angle also has a measure of 1.  Therefore,

cos(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} and

since tangent is side opposite (1) over side adjacent (1),

tan(x) = 1

What is the difference between the yearly wages of the highest paying job and lowest paying job, assuming Araceli will be paid f
tigry1 [53]

-> 40 hours per week, 52 weeks a year

<u>shop and save grocers</u>

monthly wages: $3,800

hourly wages: $3800 / 160 = $23.75 per hour

yearly wages: $23.75 per hour x 40 hours per week x 52 weeks a year

= $49,400

<u>unbelievable toys</u>

yearly wages: $43,000

<u>convenience store</u>

$16.50 per hour x 40 hours per week x 52 weeks a year

= $34,320

49,400 - 34,320 = 15,080

..? that's not even an answer choice what-
