Im so confused by this question but my only guess would be that since a coin is a 1/2 chance getting it heads twice is 1/2 * 1/2 which is 1/4 so the person who best they can get 2 heads in a row pays 1/4 of the bet being 5 dollars because 1/4 of 20 is 5 and the person who bets that they can't get two heads pays 15 dollars because that is 3/4 of the bet
tldr: 1/4 chance to get heads pays 1/4 of bet 5$
3/4 chance not to get heads pays 3/4 of bet 15$
Answer:
The explicit formula for the given expression is 2 n - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the first term of sequence = -1
The common difference = 2
In a ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION:
The nth term of a sequence is given as
a(n) = a + (n-1) d
⇒ Here, a(n) = -1 + (n-1)(2)
= -1 + 2n -2
= 2n - 3
or, a(n) = 2n - 3
Hence, the explicit formula for the given expression is 2n - 3.
It would be 53%. The biased survey is survey 2. The other surveys give 50%, 54%, and 54%
Answer:
101 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
leg 1 = 99 m
leg 2 = 20 m
hypotenuse = ?
We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
99^2 + 20^2 = c^2
9801 + 400 = c^2
c^2 = 10201
c = sqrt(10201) = 101
Answer: 101 meters
