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

a teacher plans a simulation to estimate the probability that a student will pick a vowel out of a bag of 26 tiles, each with a

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a teacher prepares 26 tiles with 5 vowels numbered 1 and 21 consonants numbered 2.

The probability for drawing vowel = $\frac{5}{26}$

Prob for consonant = $\frac{21}{26}$

If number of trials is atleast 30 we can expect reliable results.

Here the results are recorded for 120 times at random.

Since number of trials is large, we can expect a reliable and accurate results representing the actual probability.

This is because more the number of trials, the less would be the margin of error i.edeviationfrom the expected probability would be minimum

How to factor a quadratic equation and find the vertex?

Jet001 [13]

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2- 4x + 5 into vertex form, and state the vertex.

A company sells boxes of duck calls (d) for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45. they make batches of duck calls that fill

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the number of boxes of duck calls and t be the number of boxes of turkey calls.

We have been given that a company sells boxes of duck calls for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45, so the revenue earned from selling d boxes of duck and t boxes of turkey call will be 35d and 45t respectively.

Further, the company plan to make $300. We can represent this information as:

$35d+45t=300...(1)$

We are also told that they make batches of duck calls that fill 6 boxes and batches of turkey calls that fill 8 boxes. the company only has 42 boxes. We can represent this information as:

$6d+8t=42...(2)$

$6d=42-8t...(2)$

Therefore, our desired system of equation will be:

$35d+45t=300...(1)$

$6d=42-8t...(2)$
