Complete question:

A coin is biased such that a head is three times as likely to occur as a tail. Find the expected number of tails when this coin is tossed twice.

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Head is 3 times as likely to occur as tail;

Hence,

Sample space for 2 tosses :

{HH, HH, HH, HH, HH, HH, HH, HH, HH, HT, HT, HT, HT, HT, HT, TT}

Expected probability (E(x)) = Σx*p(x)

P(x) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

x : __________ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

p(x) : ________9/16_____6/16_____1/16

Σx*p(x) : 0(9/16) + 1(6/16) + 2(1/16)

= 0 + 6/16 + 2/16

= 0 + 3/8 + 1/8

= 4/8

= 1/2

What’s the circumference, to this problem ?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The formula to get the circumference of a circle is C=2*\pi * r but in this case we see that a diameter is being used therefore we can get rid of the 2 and the r because that is what the diameter and just replace d into there like this C=d*\pi.

We can then input the value and we get that C=1*\pi which then just narrows down to C=3.142.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (2,5), (0,5)​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This line is horizontal, because the y-coordinate never changes.

2. The equation for a horizontal line is y = (y-coordinate)

3. The y-coordinate is always 5, so the equation is y = 5.
