Answer:

The chance that there will be exactly 2 heads among the first five tosses and exactly 4 heads among the last 5 tosses is P=0.0488.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we divide the tossing in two: the first 5 tosses and the last 5 tosses.

Both heads and tails have an individual probability p=0.5.

Then, both group of five tosses have the same binomial distribution: n=5, p=0.5.

The probability that k heads are in the sample is:

P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{5}{k}\cdot0.5^k\cdot0.5^{5-k}

Then, the probability that exactly 2 heads are among the first five tosses can be calculated as:

P(x=2)=\dbinom{5}{2}\cdot0.5^{2}\cdot0.5^{3}=10\cdot0.25\cdot0.125=0.3125\\\\\\

For the last five tosses, the probability that are exactly 4 heads is:

P(x=4)=\dbinom{5}{4}\cdot0.5^{4}\cdot0.5^{1}=5\cdot0.0625\cdot0.5=0.1563\\\\\\

Then, the probability that there will be exactly 2 heads among the first five tosses and exactly 4 heads among the last 5 tosses can be calculated multypling the probabilities of these two independent events:

P(H_1=2;H_2=4)=P(H_1=2)\cdot P(H_2=4)=0.3125\cdot0.1563=0.0488

Answer:

∡SYZ = 34.2°

∡XYZ = 68.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

∡SYZ = 34.2°  this must be true because this angle is congruent to ∡XYS

∡XYZ = 68.4°  this must be true because ∡XYZ = ∡WYS + ∡SYZ

Simplify 8x^4/x^3+7x^4 and Find the excluded values​
Maksim231197 [3]

So first what we do is we need to get the excluded values. So to get them we have: 8x^4/x^3+7x^4.

Lets factor out the second part. x^3+7x^4 = (x^(3/4)+7x))^4

So then we get 8x^4/(x^(3/4)+7x)^4

8x^4/(x^(3/4)+7x)^4

The initial investment was 3.03 because this is the value that does not change and comes before the value with the exponent "2x" is mentioned.
