The probability of tossing heads with a standard coin is 1/2, because it is one of two possible outcomes. The probability of tos

spayn [35]

Answer:

a) 1/64

b) 1/4096

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.

a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64

b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.

Find the value of a and of b for which<br>(a) the solution of x2 + ax < b is<br>-2<x < 4

KengaRu [80]

Answer: $a = -2$

$b = 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$x^{2} +ax$

re - writing the equation , we have

$x^{2} +ax-b$

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

$x^{2}$ - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

$x^{2} -2x-8=0$ , which could be written in inequality form as

$x^{2} -2x-8$

comparing with $x^{2} +ax-b$ , it means that :

$a = -2$

$b = 8$

Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) f(x,y) = $\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}}$ ; x = 0, 1 , 2; y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b) = $\frac{9}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)

Given Data,

X = The number of blue Pens

Y = The number of red Pens

a)

possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

Please refer fig. also

total number ways of selecting any 2 pens = $\binom{8}{2}$ = $\frac{8!}{2! 6!}$ =28
