1.
-2x = 10
x = 10/(-2)
x = -5
2.
1/2 x = 5
x = 5 * 2
x = 10
3.
5x = -20
x = -20/5
x = -4
4.
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4
Answer:
<u>P(three tails) = 27/125 or 21.6%</u>
<u>P(two tails followed by one head) = 18/125 or 14.4%.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the questions correctly:
Probability of getting a head when a biased coin is tossed = 2/5
therefore,
Probability of getting a tails when a biased coin is tossed = 3/5
2. Find the following probabilities and select the correct solution.
P(three tails) =
3/5 * 3/5 * 3/5 = 27/125 or 21.6%
P(two tails followed by one head) =
3/5 * 3/5 * 2/5 = 18/125 or 14.4%.
C. 64
Rewrite the logarithm:
8=x^.5
Solve by raising both sides of the equation to the power of the inverse (in this case, the inverse of .5, which is 2):
8^2=x^(.5*2)
64=x
The answer is
A.
