Answer:
(a)
The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be
(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be
Therefore, suppose that 
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Case 1
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be
Case 2
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be
Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be
(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be
Therefore, suppose that , then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
Answer:
A negative number
Step-by-step explanation:
I know this is right. Negative numbers represent opposites. If positive represents a movement to the right, negative represents a movement to the left.In the context of negative numbers, a number that is greater than zero is referred to as positive. Thus every real number other than zero is either positive or negative, while zero itself is not considered to have a sign. Positive numbers are sometimes written with a plus sign in front, e.g. +3 denotes a positive three.
Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As given by the statement in the problem,
Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.
In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.
which means that PQ = QA
x+2 = 3x - 14
Grouping the terms, we will get,
3x -x = 14+ 2
2x = 16
dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,
x = 16/2 = 8
8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA
Answer:
1 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/10 = 3.10
1 1/5 = 1.2
3.1 - 1.2 = 1.9
1.9 = 1 9/10
Hope this helped!
I think you left out something, is it -4x+1
