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

When testing for current in a cable with sixsix color-coded wires, the author used a meter to test threethree wires at a time.

Virty [35]

Answer:

20 tests

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six different wires, and for each test the author picks three, this means that each test is a combination of three out of six wires (₆C₃) . The number of total combinations possible is given by:

$_6C_3=\frac{6!}{(6-3)!3!}\\_6C_3=\frac{6*5*4}{3*2*1}\\_6C_3=20$

20 tests are required to verify every possible pairing of three wires.

F(x)=x²-x-1 What is the average rate of change of f over the interval -1 ≤ x ≤ 1?

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$ . Since a=-1 and b=1. We can plug them into the equation and solve.

$\frac{[1^2-1-1][(-1)^2-(-1)-1)]}{1-(-1)} =\frac{(-1)(1)}{2} =-\frac{1}{2}$
