Answer:  The required answers are

(a) 0.25,    (b) 0.62,    (c) 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that we toss a fair coin 10 times and X denote the number of heads.

We are to find

(a) the probability that X=5

(b) the probability that X greater or equal than 5

(c) the minimum value of a such that P(X ≤ a) > 0.8.

We know that the probability of getting r heads out of n tosses in a toss of coin is given by the formula of binomial distribution as follows :

P(X=r)=^nC_r\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^r\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-r}.

(a) The probability of getting 5 heads is given by

P(X=5)\\\\\\=^{10}C_5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-5}\\\\\\=\dfrac{10!}{5!(10-5)!}\dfrac{1}{2^{10}}\\\\\\=0.24609\\\\\sim0.25.

(b) The probability of getting 5 or more than 5 heads is

P(X\geq 5)\\\\=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)\\\\=^{10}C_5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^5\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-5}+^{10}C_6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-6}+^{10}C_7\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^7\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-7}+^{10}C_8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-8}+^{10}C_9\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^9\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-9}+^{10}C_{10}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{10-10}\\\\\\=0.24609+0.20507+0.11718+0.04394+0.0097+0.00097\\\\=0.62295\\\\\sim 0.62.

(c) Proceeding as in parts (a) and (b), we see that

if a = 10, then

P(X\leq 0)=0.00097,\\\\P(X\leq 1)=0.01067,\\\\P(X\leq 2)=0.05461,\\\\P(X\leq 3)=0.17179,\\\\P(X\leq 4)=0.37686,\\\\P(X\leq 5)=0.62295,\\\\P(X\leq 6)=0.82802.

Therefore, the minimum value of a is 6.

Hence, all the questions are answered.

Answer:

8 (19) or  8 (18 +1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property means to distribute.

HCF of 144 and 8.

=> 8 is the HCF of 144 and 8

8 (18 + 1)

=> 8 (19)

Passes through<br> (-8, 3) and (8, -1).
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Slope = Y2 -Y1 / X2 - X1

Slope = -1 -3 / 8 --8

Slope = -4 / 16

Slope = -1 / 4

To calculate the equation we fill in this equation:

(y - y1) = slope • (x -x1)

We only need to choose 1 point so we'll choose (-8, 3)

(y - 3) = -1 / 4 * (x --8)

So the Equation equals

y = -1 / 4 x -2 + 3

y = -1 / 4x +1
