A fair coin is flipped 10 times and lands on heads 8 times. Why is there a difference between the experimental and theoretical p

robabilities of observing 8 heads in 10 coin flips?
A.
Since the number of heads in the 10 coin flips is 8, the theoretical probability of observing a head in a coin flip increases from 0.5 to 0.8.
B.
Since 10 is a large enough number of trials, there is probably some error in the recording of the coin flip outcomes.
C.
The theoretical probability has no basis in reality, so the new probability of flipping heads is now 0.8.
D.
There should be a larger number of trials. With 500 flips of the coin, the experimental probability will likely approach the theoretical probability of 0.5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the spinner has an even number of numbers on it, there will be an equal number of odd and even numbers, meaning that the probability of spinning an odd number is 1 2. This is also the probability of flipping heads on a coin. And so we have: 1 2 × 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 8. If the spinner has an odd number of numbers on it, the probability of spinning an odd number will vary. sorry if this isn't right have a nice day.

Find the distance between the points (6, 9) and (0, 1).
olganol [36]

Answer:

D= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(0-6)^2+(1-9)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(36)+(64)}\\d=\sqrt{100}\\d=10

NEED HELP ASAP, 40 POINTS THANKS
Gwar [14]

Answer:

If KE = OS then we can deduce that the trapezoid is constructed of 3 equilateral triangles and thus we can easily work out the angles.

OSK = 60

SKE = 120

KEP = 120

EPO  = 60

We can also easily work out the perimeter since we can deduce that PE = SK = KE and thus the perimeter is 5 * 8 = 40

Why is the percent not the same as the percent you find from he percent of money
nexus9112 [7]
Percentage is a way to express a relation between two numbers as a fraction of 100<span>. In other words, the percentage tells us how one number relates to another. If we know that number A is </span>25%<span> of number </span>B<span>, we know that </span>A<span> to </span>B<span> is like </span>25<span> is to </span>100<span> (one more transformation: </span>A<span> is four times smaller than </span>B<span>). This is Percentage Calculator's lesson on what is percentage. 
  But in money a percent is how many cents past the dollar the number is.</span>

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.<br> (8,4) and (2,7)
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula: \frac{ChangeInX}{2} ,\frac{ChangeInY}{2}

So, the Change In X is 2-8 = -6

And the Change in Y is 7-4 = 3

Once you divide both of the changes by 2, you get

X: -3

Y:  \frac{3}{2}

So the midpoint is: (-3,\frac{3}{2})
