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.
Answer:
B) $3060.00

I think that it will take Margie 4 years to pay back the bank. And the interest rate that the bank charges is 8.5% per month.
I'm not sure if this is correct
Answer: 15 with a remainder of 3
You need to apply the same reasoning.
25 cents is 25% of a dollar because they are 25 out of 100, that is 25/100 = 25%
For 23 cents is exactly the same reasoning:
23 cents is 23% of a dollar <span>because they are 23 out of 100 cents, that is 23/100 = 23%</span>
