Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.03125

P(X = 1) = 0.15625

P(X = 2) = 0.3125

P(X = 3) = 0.3125

P(X = 4) = 0.15625

P(X = 5) = 0.03125

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so p = 0.5

5 tosses:

This means that n = 5

Probability distribution:

Probability of each outcome, so:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125

P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625

P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.3125

P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125

P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.15625

P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125

Flura [38]

Answer:

180 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

larger box: 8*3*5 = 120

here we see that one side of the smaller box is unlabeled. but the total side length is 7, and the larger box is 3 long, so:

smaller box= (7-3)*3*5 = 60

total=120+60=180
