Binomial Probability

Mathematics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

4.39% theoretical probability of this happening

Step-by-step explanation:

For each coin, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it lands on heads, or it lands on tails. The probability of a coin landing on heads is independent of other coins. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Theoretically, a fair coin

Equally as likely to land on heads or tails, so p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5

10 coins:

This means that n = 10

What is the theoretical probability of this happening?

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.0439

4.39% theoretical probability of this happening

What is the solution to the equation 1^6 x = 2 ?
Dvinal [7]

1^6 is just 1 so 1x=2, you can just take away the one because it is a given that if there is an x there is a 1, so the answer is x=2

Answer:

The gram and kilogram are two units used to measure mass in the metric system . From the gram, we get the rest of the metric units using the standard metric prefixes. A paper clip has a mass of about 1 gram. A 1 liter bottle of water has a mass of 1 kilogram (plus a little bit extra for the plastic).

(Простите, пожалуйста, мой английский. Русский не мой родной язык. Надеюсь, у вас есть способ перевести это решение. Если нет, возможно, прилагаемое изображение объяснит достаточно.)

Use the shell method. Each shell has a height of 3 - 3/4 <em>y</em> ², radius <em>y</em>, and thickness ∆<em>y</em>, thus contributing an area of 2<em>π</em> <em>y</em> (3 - 3/4 <em>y</em> ²). The total volume of the solid is going to be the sum of infinitely many such shells with 0 ≤ <em>y</em> ≤ 2, thus given by the integral

\displaystyle 2\pi \int_0^2 y \left(3-\frac34 y^2\right) \,\mathrm dy = 2\pi \left(\frac32 y^2 - \frac3{16} y^4\right)\bigg|_0^2 = 6\pi

Or use the disk method. (In the attachment, assume the height is very small.) Each disk has a radius of √(4/3 <em>x</em>), thus contributing an area of <em>π</em> (√(4/3 <em>x</em>))² = 4<em>π</em>/3 <em>x</em>. The total volume of the solid is the sum of infinitely many such disks with 0 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 3, or by the integral

\displaystyle \pi \int_0^3 \left(\sqrt{\frac43x}\right)^2 \,\mathrm dx = \frac{2\pi}3 x^2\bigg|_0^3 = 6\pi

Using either method, the volume is 6<em>π</em> ≈ 18,85. I do not know why your textbook gives a solution of 90,43. Perhaps I've misunderstood what it is you're supposed to calculate? On the other hand, textbooks are known to have typographical errors from time to time...

Describe how a statistical question yields an answer with variability. Give a example.
solniwko [45]
Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.
