Answer:

15 heads out of 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of possible sequences of coin flips can be determined by raising the number of outcomes, which is 2 for any coin (heads or tails), to the power of the number of times the coin is flipped, given by the question as 30. Therefore,  230  is the total number of different sequences for 30 coin flips.

We can use combinatorial math to find the number of sequences with exactly 15 heads, which is 30 choose 15 or  (3015) . The probability we are looking for will be the number of sequences with 15 heads divided by the total possible sequences.

Now we can express the whole probability in math notation, and calculate an answer (rounded to 4 decimal places):

(3015)230=1551175201073741824≈0.1445≈14.45%

15 heads out of 30 is the most likely outcome when flipping 30 coins, if you run the same calculation with 14 or 16 heads you will get two equal, but smaller probabilities, same with 13 and 17 heads, and so on. If you graphed all of the outcomes, you will find it follows a normal distribution, or Bell curve, with the outcome of 15 heads, located at the peak.

The pie chart shows information about the voters in an election 2800 more women voted than men work out the total number of vote
Cerrena [4.2K]

The angle subtended by the women voters are 100° more than the angle subtended by the men voters.

  • The total number of voters are <u>10080 voters</u>

Reasons:

The angle subtended by the men on the pie chart = 130°

The number of women = 2800 + The number of men

Therefore;

Angle subtended by the women voters on the pie chart = 360° - 130° = 230°

The difference between the angle representing women and the angle

representing men = 230° - 130° = 100°

Therefore;

100° = 2800

Which by common ratios gives;

\dfrac{100^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} = \dfrac{2800}{Total \ number \  of \ voters }

100 × Total number of voters = 2800 × 360

The \  total \  number  \ of  \ voters = \dfrac{2800 \times 360}{100}  = 10080

The total number of voters = <u>10080</u>

Halle has 10 times as many pages to read for her homework assignment as Janet altogether they have to read 264 pages how many pa
statuscvo [17]
Think of the equation as the 10 times as parts so if Halle read ten times as more than Janet then we do the equation 264/11 because we have to include Janet's part too so Janet read 24, one part of the total while Halle read 240, 10 parts of the total
