What is the conditional probability that exactly four heads appear when a fair coin is flipped five times

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

5/32

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coin if flipped five times with four heads, then it has exactly one tail. The number of way to arrange four heads and one tail are as follows:

T H H H H

H T H H H

H H T H H

H H H T H

H H H H T

Essentially, there are five way because there are five "positions" where the tail could be.

Then, you need to find the total amount of possibilities for flipping a coin five times. Every time you flip it, there are two possibilities- heads and tails. Therefore, for five flips, the total amount of possibilities is

2x2x2x2x2 = 32

You know that

probability= # of desired outcome

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

# of total outcomes

So the probablity is 5/32.

Several students from boxerville middle stood in a circle, evenly spaced, to play a game. If the 6th student was directly across

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

There were 14 students in the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The students stood in a circle

∴ The line joining each two opposite students is the diameter

of the circle

- The 6th student was directly across from the 13th student

∴ The 6th student is opposite to the 13th student

- Lets count how many students between 6th student and

13th student

∵ 7th , 8th , 9th , 10th , 11th , 12th students between the 6th

student and 13th student

∴ There are 6 students between them

- Lets count how many students between 13th student and

6th student

∵ 14th , 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 5th students between the 13th

student and 6th student

∴ There are 6 students between them

∵ There are 6 students between 6th and 13th

∵ There are 6 students between 13th and 6th

∵ There are 2 students in 6th and 13th

∴ The number of the students = 6 + 6 + 2 = 14

∴ There were 14 students in the circle

You are making a scaledrawing of a room using a scale of1 inch : 4 feet.a. The room is 14 feet by 18 feet. Find itsdimensions in

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a. 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches

b. 1.5 inches

c. Divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12 to get a scale of 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale is a representative fraction showing the relationship between length on a drawing and actual length.

i.e scale = $\frac{length on a drawing}{actual length}$

scale = 1 inch : 4 feet

a. The dimensions in the drawing can be determined as;

1 inch : 4 feet implies an inch on the drawing equates 4 feet on actual length.

$\frac{14}{4}$ = 3.5 inches

$\frac{18}{4}$ = 4.5 inches

Dimensions on drawing is 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches.

b. The length of the sofa is 6 feet, its length on the drawing is;

$\frac{6}{4}$ = 1.5 inches

c. To enlarge the scale so as to double the dimensions of the drawing, we have;

12 inches = 1 feet

4 feet = 4 × 12 = 48 inches

given scale = 1 inch : 48 inches

Thus, divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12.

scale = 12 inch : 24 inch

scale = 1 : 2

To double the dimensions of the drawing, the scale required is 1 : 2. This implies that a unit measure on the drawing is synonymous to 2 measures on the actual reading.
