Tossing a coin is a binomial experiment.
Now lets say there are 'n' repeated trials to get heads. Each of the trials can result in either a head or a tail.
All of these trials are independent since the result of one trial does not affect the result of the next trial.
Now, for 'n' repeated trials the total number of successes is given by
where 'r' denotes the number of successful results.
In our case 
and 
,
Substituting the values we get,
Therefore, there are 1352078 ways to get heads if a person tosses a coin 23 times.
A=(2x+1)/B
C=(5x-14)/B
AC=(2x+1)/B * (5x-14)/B
AC=(10x² - 23x - 14)/BE
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. Let's round the value to the nearest hundredth. As you can see, the digit 8 is in the thousandths place and is greater than 5, therefore, you must round up to 0.038.
2. Now express the value as a single digit times a power of 10, as following:
x
Therefore, the answer is: x
I take it that only 7 stamps are misplaced and that we are asked for the total value of the stamps including those which have been misplaced.
If each is worth $0.15 then, the total worth of 7 stamps is $1.05. Then, we add this value to the value of his remaining stamps, $5.55, the answer would be $6.60.
