We will use Binomial Distribution in this case.

Since the coin is tossed 15 times. N which is the number of trails will be 15.

P = Probability of heads

Q = Probability of tails

X = No. heads occurring in each toss.

So, now we have to find the probability for exactly 10 heads.

P(x = 10) = C(15, 10) P^x Q^N-x

C(15, 10) (1/2)^10 (1/2)^5 = 0.0916

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The probability that all three batteries would fail is given as:

= 0.000125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the probability of the new battery failing = 1/20 or 0.05,

Therefore, the probability that all three batteries would fail is given as:

= Probability of battery A failing * Probability of battery B failing * Probability of battery C failing

= P(A)*P(B)*P(C)

= 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05

= 0.000125

(6) Give the equation of the line passing through the points (1,5) and (-2, 6) in
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

⅓x + y = 5⅓

or

⅓x + y = 5.3333333

or

⅓x + y = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for slope using rise/run

Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

(6) - (5) / (-2) - (1)

1 / -3

Slope: -⅓

y = -⅓x + b

solve for b using one of the points

I'll be using (1,5)

Substitute the point into the equation

5 = -⅓(1) + b

5 = -⅓ + b (add ⅓ to both sides)

+⅓ +⅓

5⅓ = b

5⅓ can also be written as 16/3 or 5.333333

The equation is now:

y = -⅓x + 5⅓

Convert to standard form by adding ⅓x to both sides

y = -⅓x + 5⅓

+⅓x +⅓x

Solution: ⅓x + y = 5⅓
