Answer:
(a)
The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be

Therefore, suppose that
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Case 1
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

Case 2
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be

Therefore, suppose that
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
ANSWER
1. Multiply the fraction by 5/5 to get a denominator of 100 and then write the numerator as hundredths using a decimal point.
EXPLANATION
Renaldo wants to write

as a decimal.
He needs a denominator of 100, so he can multiply by

to obtain:

This will be

He can now obtain the decimal equivalent as

The correct choice is option 1.
This kind of problems requires to add the working velocities. The total velocity is the sum of the individual velocities.
Anita's velocity = 1 pool/8 hours
Chao's velocity = 1 pool/6 hours
Combined velocity 1/8 + 1/6 = (3 + 4)/24 = 7/24 pool/hour
Time = 1 pool / (7/24) pool/hour = 24/7 hour =3.43 hours
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a line is the coefficient of x when the equation of the line is written in the form of y=mx+c.
Thus, gradient of given line=
.
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
(Gradient of line)(-3/2)= -1
Gradient of line

Substitute m=
into y=mx+c:

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x= -6, y= 8,

Thus, the equation of the line is
.
