Step-by-step explanation:

You can't expect to get exactly 2500 out of 5000 tosses more than a few times . You will come pretty close, but that's only good in horseshoes.

Of course I'm answering this on the basis of a computer language and not actually performinig this a million tmes, each part of a million consisting of 5000 tosses.

Simulations and not completely unbiased, but based on experience, 5000 is a very small number and getting 2500 more than a couple of times is unlikely

<h2> ANSWER:</h2>

The probability of flipping a coin

coming up heads and tails is 1/2. 

So, toss 5000 times 5000/2= 2500

 heads: 2500

 tails : 2500

For what value of c does x^2−2x−c=4 have exactly one real solution? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Paul [167]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving all terms of the quadratic to one side, we have

$x^2-2x-(c+4)=0$ .

A quadratic has one real solution when the discriminant is equal to 0. In a quadratic $ax^2+bx+d$ , the discriminant is $\sqrt{b^2-4ad}$ .

(The discriminant is more commonly known as $\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$ , but I changed the variable since we already have a $c$ in the quadratic given.)

In the quadratic above, we have $a=1$ , $b=-2$ , and $d=-(c+4)$ . Plugging this into the formula for the discriminant, we have

$\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-(c+4))$ .

Using the distributive property to expand and simplifying, the expression becomes

$\sqrt{4-4(-c-4)}=\sqrt{4+4c+16}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{20+4c}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{5+c}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=2\sqrt{c+5}.$
