Answer:

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

X\sim Geo (1-p)

Solution to the problem

For this case the probability of getting a head is p=0.61

And the experiment is "The coin is tossed until the first time that a head turns up"

And we define the variable T="The record the number of tosses/trials up to and including the first head"

So then the best distribution is the Geometric distribution given by:

T \sim Geo (1-p=1-0.61)

Factor 48m - 80n.<br> 16mn(3m - 5n)<br> 16(5n - 3m)<br> 16(3m - 5n)
aliya0001 [1]
The correct answer for this would be the last option. The factors of 48m - 80n are 16(3m - 5n). If you try to solve this, the result would be 48m - 80n. 16 x 3m would be 48m and 16 times 5n would be 80n. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
