Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T)  = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15  = 15/32

|\Omega|=2^5=32

1.

|A|=1\\P(A)=\dfrac{1}{32}=3.125\%

2.

|A|=1+5+10=16\\P(A)=\dfrac{16}{32}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

Find the slope of the line using the points (0,4) and (-3,6)
Anna007 [38]

slope = - \frac{2}{3}

calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m = \frac{6-4}{-3-0} = \frac{2}{-3} = - \frac{2}{3}

9× 3 1/2=<br> Which choice is the most reasonable answer?
icang [17]

Answer:

31.5 or 63/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this, first you need to transform the <u>mixed number</u> <em>(3 1/2)</em> into an <u>improper fraction</u>, to get 7/2.

then you just multiply 9 by 7/2

9/1 (7/2)

63/2 = 31.5

<em>both of the answers in bold are correct</em>
