Answer:

Total expected amount = $0.04375

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate probability of getting heads on every combination of coin tosses

HHH = 1/8 = 3 heads

HHT = 1/8 = 2 heads

HTH = 1/8 = 2 heads

HTT = 1/8 = 1 head

THH = 1/8 = 2 heads

THT = 1/8 = 1 head

TTH = 1/8 = 1 head

TTT = 1/8 = 0 head

So the probability of 3 heads is 1/8 and the amount is (1/8)* 0.14 = $0.0175

Probability of 2 heads is 3/8 and the amount is (3/8) * 0.06 = $0.0225

Probability of 1 head is 3/8 and amount is (3/8) * 0.01 = $0.00375

Total expected amount = 0.00375 + 0.0225 + 0.0175

Total expected amount = $0.04375

Randy's average grade is 89 with a standard deviation of 3. His grades follow a normal distribution.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

0.9545

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability, we need to get the standard score or z-score of each of the scores.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

mean = 89 and SD(standard deviation) = 3

for 83, the z-score = (83-89)/3 = -6/3 = -2

for 95, the z-score = (95-89)/3 = 6/3 = 2

The probability we are to calculate has the following range;

P(-2<z<2)

we use the standard score table to estimate this;

= P(z<2) - P(z<-2)

P(z<2) = 0.97725

P(z<-2) = 0.02275

Plugging these values into the equation, we have ;

P(-2<z<2) = 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545
