Answer: a) 0.2222, b) 0.3292, c) 0.1111

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the probability of getting head be p.

Since,  its head is twice as likely to occur as its tail.

p+\dfrac{p}{2}=1\\\\\dfrac{3p}{2}=1\\\\p=\dfrac{2}{3}

a)If the coin is flipped 3 times, what is the probability of getting exactly 1 head?

So, here, n  = 3

p=\dfrac{2}{3}

q=\dfrac{1}{3}

Now,

P(X=1)=^3C_1(\dfrac{2}{3})^1(\dfrac{1}{3})^2=0.2222

b)If the coin is flipped 5 times, what is the probability of getting exactly 2 tails?

2 tails means 3 heads.

So, it becomes,

P(X=3)=^5C_3(\dfrac{2}{3})^3(\dfrac{1}{3})^2=0.3292

c)If the coin is flipped 4 times, what is the probability of getting at least 3 tails?

P(X\leq 1)=\sum _{x=0}^1^4C_x(\dfrac{2}{3}^x(\dfrac{1}{3})^{4-x}=0.1111

Hence, a) 0.2222, b) 0.3292, c) 0.1111

jason mixed 8ml of a salt solution with 11ml of a 47% salt solution to make a 43%salt solution. find the percent salt concentrat
choli [55]

Let x% be the salt concentration of first solution.

Then in 8ml, amount of salt = \frac{8x}{100}

Given that to this 8ml solution, 11ml solution of a 47% salt solution is mixed.

amount of salt in 11ml of 47% salt solution is \frac{11*47}{100} = \frac{517}{100}

So, total amount of salt in new mixture = \frac{8x}{100} +\frac{517}{100} = \frac{8x+517}{100}

But given that this new solution is a 43% salt solution.

Hence amount of salt in new mixture of (8+11)=19ml solution of 43% salt solution is \frac{19*43}{100} = \frac{817}{100}

Hence \frac{8x+517}{100} = \frac{817}{100}

            8x+517 = 817

             8x=817-517 = 300

          x= 300/8 = 37.5

Hence the salt concentration in the first solution is 37.5%

A triangle is shown. The table names different transformations that can be applied to the triangle.
Citrus2011 [14]

The given transformations are rigid transformation in which the image

can be located by a formula.

Response:

First reflect across the x-axis then reflect across the y-axis

  • Figure: Second graph

First, rotate 180° counterclockwise around the origin. Then reflect across the x-axis.

  • Figure: Third graph

First translate 9 units to the left. Then reflect across the x-axis

  • Figure: First graph

<h3>Which method is used to determine the transformation of an image?</h3>

The coordinates of (x, y) following a reflection across the x-axis is (x, -y)

The coordinates following a reflection across the y-axis is (-x, y)

The points of the triangle following the first transformation is therefore;

(4, 4) → (4, -4) → (-4, -4)

(8, 4) → (8, -4) → (-8, -4)

(6, 6) → (6, -6) → (-6, -6)

The image from the first transformation is (-4, -4), (-8, -4), (-6, -6), which

corresponds to the <u>second graph</u>.

The coordinates following a rotation of (x, y) by 180° about the origin is (-x, -y)

A reflection of the point (-x, -y) about the x-axis is (-x, y).

Therefore;

(4, 4) → (-4, -4) → (-4, 4)

(8, 4) → (-8, -4) → (-8, 4)

(6, 6) → (-6, -6) → (-6, 6)

The image from the second transformation is (-4, 4), (-8, 4), (-6, 6), which corresponds to the <u>third graph</u>.

The coordinates following a translation of 9 units to the left is (x - 9, y)

A reflection of the point (x - 9, y) about the x-axis is (x - 9, -y)

Therefore;

(4, 4) → (4 - 9, -4) = (-5, -4)

(8, 4) → (8 - 9, -4) = (-1, -4)

(6, 6) → (6 - 9, -6) → (-3, -6)

The image from the third transformation is (-13, -9), (-1, -4), (-7, -6), which corresponds to the<u> first graph</u>.

Which of the following shows that ABCD is a parallelogram for x=6 and y =8? (20 points)
Reika [66]

Answer:

AB = CD = 44 and BC = AD = 31 ; so ABCD is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram should have two pairs of parallel sides meaning the length of side AB should be the same as the length of side CD and the length of side AD should be the same as the length of side BC.

<u>First, lets see if line AB is parallel to line CD.</u>

Let's start by finding out the length of line AB.

Since we know x = 6 we will replace x with 6 in the expression:

7(6) + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44

Now that we know the length of line AB is 44, lets find the length of line CD by replacing x with its value of 6:

9(6) - 10 = 54 - 10 = 44

Now that we know the length of line CD is 44, we can see that line AB is parallel to line CD since they both have the same length of 44.

<u>Now, lets see if line BC is parallel to line AD.</u>

Let's start by finding out the length of line BC.

Since we know y = 8 we will replace y with 8 in the expression:

3(8) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31

Now that we know the length of line BC is 31, lets find the length of line AD by replacing y with its value of 8:

5(8) - 9 = 40 - 9 = 31

Now that we know the length of line AD is 31, we can see that line BC is parallel to line AD since they both have the same length of 31.

<u>Conclusion</u>

ABCD is a parallelogram because it contains two parallel sides.
