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:

Hi there!

Your answer is: 150 people prefer that school assemblies be held on Friday afternoon

Step-by-step explanation:

3 out of 4 students means that 75% of students prefer assemblies on Friday afternoon!

To find 75% of 200:

200 = 100%

/100 to find 1%

2 people = 1%

Multiply it by 75 to determine 75%

2×75= 150

150people is 75% of 200 people!

I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have questions!

100m In 9 3/5 seconds

Answer:

Speed = 10.42 m/secs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with:-

Distance = 100m

Time taken = 9 $\frac{3}{5}$ secs

1) First, we need to convert the mixed number 9 $\frac{3}{5}$ to an improper fraction.

<u>Method to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction</u>

<u> $a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{c*a+b}{c}$ </u>

Applying the above formula, we get

9 $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{5*9+3}{5}$

= $\frac{45+3}{5}$

= $\frac{48}{5}$

2) Now we need to convert $\frac{48}{5}$ into a decimal by dividing 48 by 5.

We get time taken as 9.6 secs

3) We need to find the speed using the below formula:-

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time taken}$

Plugging the values of Distance and Time taken into the formula, we get

Speed = $\frac{100}{9.6}$

= 10.416 m/secs

4) Upon rounding it to the nearest hundredth, we get

Speed = 10.42 m/secs
