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\%

Kim needs to add a 6% saline solution to an IV bag that contains 20 cubic centimeters of 10% saline solution.
Sonja [21]
Let 'x' represent the volume of 6% saline solution
Let 'y' represent the volume of 8% saline solution

Form 2 equations.
Eq. 1: 20+x=y
Meaning 20 cm³ + x cm³=y cm³
Eq 2: 0.06x+0.1(20)=0.08y
Meaning: 6% of x + 10% of 20= 8% of y

Use substitution or elimination to solve this linear system. I used substitution.
Sub. Eq. 1 (20+x=y)  into Eq. 2 (0.06x+0.1(20)=0.08y)
0.06x+ 0.1(20)=0.08(20+x)
0.06x+2+1.6=0.08x
-0.02x= -0.4
x=20

Substitute x=20 into equation 1 (you can also use 2 but in this case equation 1 is simpler)

20+x=y
20+20=y
40=y

To check, substitute x=20 and y=40 into equation 2

0.06x + 0.1(20)= 0.08y
0.06(20) +2 = 0.08(40)
1.2+2= 3.2
3.2=3.2

Therefore, Kim would need 20cm³ of 6% saline solution and 40cm³ of 10% saline solution to make 8% solution.
