Mathematics

Answer:

\frac{15}{32}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a coin is flipped 5 times. Let us assume it is a fair coin with probability for head or tail equally likely and hence 0.50

Sample space would have 2^5 = 32 possibilities

For two heads never occurring in a row favourable outcomes are

HTTTT,HTTHT,HTTTH,  HTHTH,  HTHTT, THTHT, THTTT, THTTH, TTHTH, TTHTT, TTTHT, TTTTH, TTTTT, TTTTH

Hence probability =

Favorable outcomes/Total outcomes=

\frac{15}{32}

ivann1987 [24]
Average running time = \frac{laps  run}{time  taken}
                                   = \frac{21  laps}{7  mins}
                                   = 3 laps / min

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. the equation from the graphed line in slope-point form using the point 2,-1
Arada [10]
The formula for point-slope form is y-a=m(x-c), where y and x are variables, a is simply one point in y, m is the slope, and c is simply one point in x. The first thing we can find is m, or the slope. This is found by dividing the change in y over the change in x. The equation for this is (I’ll plug the points in the equation)
\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} = \frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}} =  \frac{-1-(-2)}{2-(-2)}=  \frac{-1+2}{2+2} =1/4

Therefore, our answer is the bottom one as our slope is 1/4.

james just bought a large container of ice cream the label says that there are 16 servings of ice cream write a formula to help
Tema [17]
The correct formula that must be used is y=x/16. Variable 'x' represents the total mass of ice cream in the container. Mass of ice cream per serving is represented by the variable 'y'. The total mass of ice cream is divided by sixteen to determine the number of grams per serving.
