If you toss an unfair coin such that p(heads)=0.45, what is the probability that you get your first heads on the 6th toss?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: The percent that you get your first heads on the 6th toss is about 2.26%.

To reach this event, you would have to flip a tails 5 times in a row. Then, you would have to flip a heads.

If we multiplied all the percent together, it would look like:

0.55 x 0.55 x 0.55 x 0.55 x 0.55 x 0.45

Multiplying those gives a value of 2.26%.

You just have to divide the amount spent by the number of golf balls.
$9.54 divided by 18 balls = $0.53 per golf ball

Why did the math teacher open a window company?

umka2103 [35]

A math teacher opened a window company because he loves seeing shapes or geometrical polygons such as rectagles, squares or quadrilaterals in general as well as triangles in his works. Of course, the math teacher is already familiar with these shapes and how to calculate the angles in between.

How do the lengths of line segments define the golden ratio?

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The golden ratio is a special number favored by the Greeks. Its ratio roughly equals 1.618. The ratio is formed by taking a line segment and dividing it into two parts labeled a and b. The golden ratio is formed when this proportion is true $\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}$ .

When you add a and b then divide by a, it will be the same as a divided by b. This will hold true only for specific lengths of a and b. This means you must divide the line segment in such a way that a and b meet this requirement.

Example:

If the line segment is 50 cm long. Split the segment into parts a and b where a = 30.9 and b = 19.1. Substitute the values into the proportion $\frac{a+b}{a}=\frac{a}{b}$ .

$\frac{30.9+19.1}{30.9}=\frac{30.9}{19.1}$

$\frac{50}{30.9}=\frac{30.9}{19.1}$

1.618 = 1.618

This is the golden ratio.
