The way to best describe those sticks is to say that they are both parallel.

Suppose you toss a fair coin 10 times, let X denote the number of heads. (a) What is the probability that X=5? (b) What is the p

zubka84 [21]

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.

Help me please, ps u don't have to answers all of them

Leni [432]

A) To find the surface area of a cube, you have to use the formula 6•a^2
meaning you just have to calculate one side and multiply it by six.
541.5 is the surface area of the cube.
B) To find the surface area for just five sides, you'll be doing the same, except instead of 6 it'll be five.
so multiply 9.5 by itself
you get 90.25
Then you multiply 90.5 by 5
You get 451.25

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do C. good luck
