Answer:

0.575

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of probabilities:

1. Theoretical Probability

2. Experimental Probability

The probability based on mathematical theories is called theoretical probability. It is not always true. i.e. the probability of getting a head in a toss of coin is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

Experimental probability is based on experiments. Experimental probability is always going to change whenever the experiment is performed.

The theoretical probability of getting a head while tossing a coin will always be 50% while experimental probability might be different the next time, experiment is performed.

In this case, the experimental probability will be 23/40 or 0.575 ..

1011+111 in binary form

Ann [662]

Answer:

10010

Step-by-step explanation:

$1011=1(2)^3+0(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

$111=1(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

So $1011+111$ gives us:

$1(2)^3+0(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

$+$

$1(2)^2+1(2)^1+1(2)^0$

-----------------------------------------------------

Combine like terms:

$1(2)^3+(0+1)(2)^2+(1+1)(2)^1+(1+1)(2)^0$

$1(2)^3+1(2)^2+(2)(2)^1+(2)(2)^0$

We aren't allowed to have a coefficient bigger than 1.

I'm going to replace $2^0$ with 1 and $2$ with $(2)^1$ :

$1(2)^3+1(2)^2+(2)^2+(2)^1(1)$

I want a $2^0$ number:

$1(2)^3+1(2)^2+1(2)^2+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

Combine like terms:

$1(2)^3+2(2)^2+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

$2(2)^2=2^3$ :

$1(2)^3+2^3+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

Combine like terms:

$2(2)^3+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

We can rewrite the first term by law of exponents:

$2^4+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

$1(2)^4+1(2)^1+0(2)^0$

So the binary form is:

$10010$

Keep in mind 1+1=10 and that 1+1+1=11:

Setup:

1 0 1 1

+ 1 1 1

------------------------------

(1) (1) (1)

1 0 1 1

+ 1 1 1

------------------------------

1 0 0 1 0

I had to do some carry over with my 1+1=10 and 1+1+1=11.

Please answer quickly I will give brainliest- Kelsey has a list of possible functions. Pick one of the g(x) functions below and

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

1. Behavior

The g(x) is large and positive when x is large and positive;

The g(x) is large and negative when x is large and negative.

2. y-intercept= -18

3. The zeros are: -3, -2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. End behavior:

To find this you have to know the leading coefficient of the variable with the highest degree, and whether the degree is even or odd.

(x + 3) = x positive, coefficient 1

(x + 2) = x positive, coefficient 1

(x − 3)= x positive, coefficient 1

The coefficient is 1*1*1= 1 = positive

There are 3 x, so it will be x^3= odd

The behavior for odd and positive will be:

g(x) is + ∞ when x=>+∞

g(x) is -∞ when x=>-∞

The g(x) is large and positive when x is large and positive;

The g(x) is large and negative when x is large and negative.

2. Y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph touches the y-axis. The y-axis is located at x=0, so to find the y-intercept you need to put x=0 on the graph function. Some graphs can have two y-intercepts but the graph on the question only has one. The calculation will be:

y-intercept = g(0)= (0+3)(0+2)(0-3)

y-intercept = 3*2*-3

y-intercept= -18

3. Zeros

The zeros mean the value of x that will result as g(x) as zero. At this coordinate, the graph will touch the x-axis since g(0) is located on the x-axis. That is why this coordinate also called an x-intercept. The function is expressed as the product of three things. If any of them is 0, then the result will be 0. So we have 3 zeros
