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

5x-y=7

seropon [69]

Answer:

see graph of y = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If graphing is the task, you should rewrite the equation in a y = ax + b form. All straight lines can be described in this form, only the a and b determine which line it is.

Your equation 5x-y=7 has the 5x on the left side, so lets move it to the right. It will get a negative sign (this is the same as subtracting 5x like you did in your picture)

5x - y = 7

-y = 7 - 5x

Now we still have the -y which should be a +y. So we multiply left and right with -1 and get:

y = -7 + 5x

If we swap the -y and 5x (we can, because they are just an addition), we get:

y = 5x - 7

Now the equation is in its "normal" form. It's like the y = ax + b with a and b chosen as a=5 and b=-7.

The normal form is handy because you can immediately see the slope is 5 and the intersection with the y-axis is at y=-7.
