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

The circle x2+y2=36 is translated 5 Units left and 4 units up where is the center of the new circle after the translation

Andrej [43]

The general equation of a circle is given by:
(x-a)^2+(x-b)^2=r^2
where:
(a,b) is the center
r is the radius

given the equation:
x^2+y^2=36
it means that the equation is centered at (0,0) with radius of 6 units. Thus a translation of 5 units to the left and 4 units up, will change the new center to
(-5,4)
thus the equation will be:
(x+5)^2+(y-4)^2=36

Answer: (x+5)^2+(y-4)^2=36

A rectangle has a length that is 7 inches less that twice it's width. The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches. Write an eq

Nitella [24]

Answer: $2x^2-7x=72$ , where x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).

Then its length = 2x-7 ( in inches).

Area of rectangle = Length × width

= (2x-7) × (x)

= 2x × x -7 ×x

= 2x²-7x

The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches.

$\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-7x=72$

Hence, the equation that represents the given situation :

$2x^2-7x=72$

Is it a true or false you receive a pay raise of 3% hold later by a pay cut of 3% after the two changes and pay your salary is u

Dimas [21]

False.

Lets say your original pay was $100

You get a 3% pay raise so that now makes your pay: 100 x 1.03 = $103

Now from 103 you get a 3% pay cut so after the pay cut your pay would be:

103 x (100%-3%) = 100 x 97% = 100 x 0.97 = $99.91

99.91 is less than your original pay of 100.

Why is there no commutative property for subtraction and division

Bezzdna [24]

There is no commutative property for subtraction and division because order does matter. 6 - 5 will not give you the same answer as 5 - 6.
