Answer:

a. p = n + m

where: n is the number of pens, and m is the number of pencils

b. p = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pens and pencils that Alex has be represented by n and m respectively.

But,

number of pens, n = 14

number of pencils, m = 57

Then,

total number of pens and pencils, p = number of pens + number of pencils

i.e p = n + m

p = 14 + 57

p = 71

The total number of pens and pencils that Alex has is 71.

How do you find the slope of y=-4/3x - 1?

Brut [27]

I can't think of what the form is called, but the slope is in that equation.

y=mx+b

m is the slope and in that equation, m=-4/3

A fair coin is flipped twelve times. What is the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fair coin is flipped twelve times.

It means the number of possible sequences of heads and tails would be:

2¹² = 4096

We can determine the number of ways that such a sequence could contain exactly 9 tails is the number of ways of choosing 9 out of 12, using the formula

$nCr=\frac{n!}{r!\left(n-r\right)!}$

Plug in n = 12 and r = 9

$=\frac{12!}{9!\left(12-9\right)!}$

$=\frac{12!}{9!\cdot \:3!}$

$=\frac{12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10}{3!}$ ∵ $\frac{12!}{9!}=12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10$

$=\frac{1320}{6}$ ∵ $3!\:=\:3\times 2\times 1=6$

$=220$

Thus, the probability will be:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}$

$=\frac{220}{4096}$

$=\frac{55}{1024}$

Thus, the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times will be:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}$
