Answer:

1.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that we can solve it by means of binomial, in this case m = 25. Also the probability of head is 50%. we need to know when it falls 7 times, therefore x = 7

the formula is:

P (x) = mCx * p ^ x * q ^ (m-x)

we know that p is 0.5 therefore q is equal to 0.5, replacing:

P (7) = 25C7 * 0.5 ^ 7 * 0.5 ^ (25-7)

P (7) = 25! / (7! * (25-7)!) * 0.5 ^ 7 * 0.5 ^ (25-7)

P = 0.0143

that is, the probability is 1.43%

Answer:

D(2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram gram bisects each other.

Therefore E is the midpoint of AD.

Let the coordinates of D be (a,b).

By the midpoint rule:

$( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) = ( - 2, \frac{1}{2} )$

This implies that:

$( \frac{ - 6+a}{2} ,\frac{ - 1+b}{2}) = ( - 2, \frac{1}{2} )$

This implies that:

$( \frac{ - 6+a}{2} = - 2 ,\frac{ - 1+b}{2} = \frac{1}{2} )$

$( - 6+a =- 4 , - 1+b = 1 ) \\ ( a =- 4 + 6 , b = 1 + 1 ) \\ ( a =2 , b =2 )$

He rain caused the river to ride a total of 6 2/3 inches. The river was rising at an average of 2/3 of an inch each hour. How ma

Kobotan [32]

To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

$\sf 6\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}$

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

$\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{2}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{60}{6}$

Simplify by dividing:

$\boxed{\sf 10}$

So it rained for 10 hours.

Which method of separation can be used for a homogeneous mixture?

nignag [31]

One of the methods of separation of homogeneous mixtures is called distillation and it is based on the various boiling points of the component of mixture. Heating the mixture, the component that has the lowest boiling point will evaporate and the separation can be done. the other method is called chromatography.so the answer is d.distillation! hope this helped!

The car consumes 6 liters per 100 km. How many kilometers can you drive with this car if the tank has 42 liters?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If 100km enables consumption of 6lts

what about 42lts

42/6 multiply by 100km

42/6*100= 700km

The car will consume 42lts in 700 km.

Thank you.

What is 2/r=12/18?<br> Chcjcjxjxkxkx

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: r = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

2r = 12/18

(2)*(18)=12*r

36=12r

Step 2: Flip the equation.

12r=36

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

12r/12 = 36/12

r = 3
