If you flip a fair coin five times what is the probability that you will get exactly 3 tales

V125BC [204]2 years ago
4 0
<h3>Answer: 0.3125</h3>

As a fraction, 0.3125 = 5/16

================================================

Work Shown:

n = 5 trials

p = 0.5 is the probability of landing tails

x = 3 = number of tails we want to happen

Use the binomial PDF formula to get

(n C x)*(p)^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

(5 C 3)*(0.5)^3*(1-0.5)^(5-3)

10*(0.5)^3*(0.5)^(2)

0.3125

note: flipping a single coin 5 times is the same as flipping 5 independent coins one time

Write 84000 in standard form
emmasim [6.3K]
<span>When you write a number in expanded form you show how much each digit values, according its place in the number. For example, in the number 123, 3 values 3, 2 values 2*10 = 20 and 1 values 1*100 = 100, so the expanded form is 100 + 20 + 3. Using this with 84,000, you have the 8 is in the place of ten thousands, 4 is in the place of one thousand, 0 is in the place of hundreeds, 0 is in the place of tens, and 0 is in the place of units. So, the expanded form is: 80,000 + 4000. </span>

Please help me I don’t understand and my tutor is gonna tell me mom please help number 12
dem82 [27]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume y is 4/3 of z.

x = 7/6 y

y = 48

x = 7/6 * 48

x = 7 * 8

x = 56

y = 4/3 z

4/3 z = y

z = 3/4 y

z = 3/4 * 48

z = 36

x - z = 56 - 36 = 20
