Answer:

80/81

Step-by-step explanation:

If a head is twice as likely to occur as a tail, then the probability of getting heads is 2/3 and the probability of getting tails is 1/3.

The probability of getting at least 1 head involves 4 scenarios:

1) 1 Head and 3 Tails

2) 2 Heads and 2 Tails

3) 3 Heads and 1 Tail

4) 4 Heads

Instead of calculate all these scenarios, you could calculate the opposite scenario: 4 Tails. The sum of all possible scenarios is 1, so:

P(at least one head) + P(no heads) = 1

Then, P(at least one head) = 1 - P(no heads)

The probability of 4 tails is:

P(no heads) = P(TTTT) = (1/3)(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)=1/81

Then, P(at least one head) = 1 - 1/81=80/81

Explain the tangent line problem
ale4655 [162]

The Tangent Line Problem  1/3How do you find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a point Q when you only have that one point? This Demonstration shows that a secant line can be used to approximate the tangent line. The secant line PQ connects the point of tangency to another point P on the graph of the function. As the distance between the two points decreases, the secant line becomes closer to the tangent line.

Solve for x…..…………………
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, we find,

(2x - 16) + (x - 8) = 9

=> 2x - 16 + x - 8 = 9

=> 2x + x - 16 - 8 = 9

=> 3x - 24 = 9

=> 3x = 9 + 24

=> 3x = 33

=> x = 33/3

=> x = 11

6 - 3x = 5x - 10x + 8
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

6-3x=5x-10x+8=

move all terms to the left:

6-3x-(5x-10x+8)=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-3x-(-5x+8)+6=0

get rid of parentheses

-3x+5x-8+6=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x-2=0

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

2x=2

x=2/2

x=1
