Answer:

If a fair coin is tossed three times, sample = 2^3 = 8 (hhh, hht, hth, thh, htt, tht, tth, ttt) where h=head and t=tail.

Probability of getting one:

Outcomes with one head (h) = 3

P(1 h) = 3/8 = 0.375

Solve each equation for the unknown 1. 5 + y = 7. 2. 3.8 = a + 2.5 5. + p = 9 1/3

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

1. 5 + y = 7

⇒ y = 7 - 5

⇒y = 5

2. 3.8 = a + 2.5

⇒ a = 2.5 - 3.8

⇒ a = -1.3

3. 5 + p = 9 1/3 

⇒ p = 9 1/3 - 5

⇒ p = 28/3 - 5

⇒ p = 28/3 - 15/3

⇒ p = 13/3

⇒ p = 4 1/3

Answer:

Equation of line in slope-intercept form that passes through (4, -8) and is perpendicular to the graph $y= \frac {2}{5} x - 3$ is below

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the equation $y= \frac{2}{5} x -3$ is $m_1 = \frac{2}{5}$

Since slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other, therefore slope of other line is given as

$m_2 = - \frac {1}{m_1} = - \frac {5}{2}$

Equation of line in point slope form is given as

$y-y_1=m_2(x-x_1)$

Here (x1, y1) = (4, -8)

$y+8 = - \frac{5}{2} (x-4)$

Simplifying it further

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + \frac {5}{2} 4 - 8$

$y = - \frac {5}{2} x + 2$
