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:

nalin [4]3 years ago

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%.

Solve for x in the simplest form 11=1/2x+8

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

11 = 1/2x + 8

-> Move 8 to left side

11 - 8 = 1/2x

3 = 1/2x

->We can switch sides so 1/2x is on the left and 3 is on the right

1/2x = 3

x = 3 x 2/1

x = 6

CORRECT AND CLEAR ANSWER WILL BE GIVEN BRAINLIEST An object of mass 0.30 kg is thrown vertically upwards and reaches a height of

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Final potential energy = 24 Joule

The velocity with which object must be thrown = $4 \sqrt{10}$ m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of object, m = 0.30 Kg

Height of object, h = 8 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 $ms^{-2}$

a) Formula for Potential Energy:

$E_p =mgh$

Where m is the mass of object

g is acceleration due to gravity and

h is the height of object

Putting the values of m, g and h

$E_p = 0.3 \times 10 \times 8\\\Rightarrow E_p =24 J$

b) Formula for initial and final velocity:

$v^{2} =u^{2} +2gh$

where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity with which the object is thrown

g is acceleration due to gravity and

h is the height obtained by object

here v = 0 at the height 8 m because it will come to rest at the point it attains the maximum height.

h = 8m

g = -10 $ms^{-2}$ (negative because the object's velocity is decreasing)

Putting the values to find 'u':

$0^{2} =u^{2} +2 \times -10 \times 8\\\Rightarrow u^{2} = 160\\\Rightarrow u = 4 \sqrt{10}\ m/s$
