Each coin has a head and a tail, therefore when you toss two coins, you have 4 possible outcomes. You have two heads in only one of these outcomes, while the other three have at least one tail.

The expected value of the game is the price paid/gained times the probability of loss/victory:

E = (1 / 4) · (-6) + (3 / 4) · (2)
   = -3 / 2 + 3 / 2
   = 0

Bob expects to tie with Will.

a bag of peaches has 3 more than 2 times the number of bananas in a bag of bananas. if there are 17 peaches in a bag, how many b
Harlamova29_29 [7]

this can be turned into an equation to be solved more easily. so the amount of bananas can be x. there are 17 peaches. So the equation would be:

(17 - 3) ÷ 2 = x

you begin with what's inside the parenthesis

17 - 3 = 14.

14 ÷2 = 7

x = 7

there are 7 bananas in the bag of bananas

What is the slope of y-4=5/2(x-2)
OLEGan [10]
The answer is 5/2. The equation is already in point slope form. If you recall, the equation for point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) where y1 and x1 are points on the graph, and m is the slope. In the given equation, m is 5/2 so we know it is the slope.
Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the point slope for equation, you can manipulate the equation to the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the constant. If you solve for y, you get y=5/2x-1 since 5/2 is in the place of m, we know 5/2 is the slope.
