The value of x is 30
<u><em>Solution:</em></u>
Given that measure of exterior angle of regular polygon is 2x
The measure of interior angle is 4x
To find: value of x
The sum of an interior angle plus an exterior angle must be equal to 180 degrees (supplementary angles)
measure of exterior angle + measure of interior angle = 180
2x + 4x = 180
6x = 180
x = 30
<em><u>Finding the measure of an exterior angle</u></em>
measure of exterior angle = 2x = 2(30) = 60 degrees
<em><u>Finding the measure of interior angle</u></em>
measure of interior angle = 4x = 4(30) = 120 degrees
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.03125 = 3.125% probability that all the nickels will land with heads facing up.
For each coin, there are only two possible outcomes, either it lands on heads, or it lands on tails. The landing of a coin is independent of other coins, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
In this problem:
- 5 nickels, hence .
- They are equally as likely to land on heads or tails, hence
The probability that all the nickels will land with heads facing up is P(X = 5), hence:
0.03125 = 3.125% probability that all the nickels will land with heads facing up.
