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

The radius of a circle is 13 find its area un terms of pi
Leto [7]

The area of the circle is given as:

A=\pi r^2

Plugging the value of the radius we have that:

A=\pi(13)^2=169\pi

Therefore the area in terms of pi is:

A=169\pi

Witch method will NOT get you to the point (1.5, 4)?

Left down, or “Starting at the origin, go 4 spaces to the right and then 1and1/2 spaces up.” This would bring you to the point (4,1and1/2)
