An experiment consists of tossing an unfair coin (48% chance of landing on heads) a specified number of times and recording the

outcomes.
a. What is the probability that the first head will occur on the second trial?
b. Does the probability change if we toss the coin three times? What if we toss the coin four times?

Answer:

a) 0.52 × 0.48 = 0.2496 or 24.96%

b) No the probability of getting heads or tails remains the same as each outcome is mutually independent than previous outcome

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

c appears to be the better description as the line on the left has a solid circle at x = 1 indicating it is defined for x ≤ 1

While the line on the right has an open circle at x = 1 indicating it is defined for x > 1

Both line segments have a negative slope, thus

y = - 2x + 1 x > 1

y = - x + 2 : x ≤ 1

Mrs. Henson's rectangular afghan is 2 feet
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The width is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 6 feet, minus 2 will be 4. Six times 4 is 24, which is the area of the afghan rug. We are multiplying 6 and 4 because it is length times width in rectangle area.

The polar coordinates of a point are 3π 4 and 7.00 m. What are its Cartesian coordinates (in m)? (x, y) = 6.06,−3.5 m
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) \left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)

b) r\angle\theta = 7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar coordinates are represented as: r\angle\theta, where 'r' is the length (or magnitude) of the line, and '\theta' is the angle measured from the positive x-axis.

in our case:

7\angle\dfrac{3\pi}{4}

to covert the polar to cartesian:

x = r\cos{\theta}

y = r\sin{\theta}

we can plug in our values:

x = 7\cos{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = -7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

y = 7\sin{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = 7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

the Cartesian coordinates are:

\left(x,y\right)=\left(-7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)

\left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)

(b) to convert (x,y) = (6.06,-3.5)

we'll use the pythagoras theorem to find 'r'

r^2 = x^2+y^2

r^2 = (6.06)^2+(-3.5)^2

r = \sqrt{48.97} \approx 7

the angle can be found by:

\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{x}

\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{3.5}{6.06}

\theta = \arctan{left(\dfrac{3.5}{6.06}\right)}

\theta = 0.5236 \text{radians}

to convert radians to degrees:

\theta = 0.5236 \times \dfrac{180}{\pi} \approx 30^\circ

writing in polar coordinates:

r\angle\theta = 7\angle30^\circ\,\,\text{OR}\,\,7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}

What are the solutions to the equation?<br> 7x^3=28x
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

7x³ = 28x is our equation. We want its solutions.

When you have x and different powers, set the whole thing equal to zero.

7x³ = 28x

7x³ - 28x = 0

Now notice there's a common x in both terms. Let's factor it out.

x (7x² - 28) = 0

As 7 is a factor of 7 and 28, it too can be factored out.

x (7) (x² - 4) = 0

We can further factor x² - 4. We want a pair of numbers that multiply to 4 and whose sum is zero. The pairs are 1 and 4, 2 and 2. If we add 2 and -2 we get zero.

x (7) (x - 2) (x + 2) = 0

Now we use the Zero Product Property - if some product multiplies to zero, so do its pieces.

x = 0        -----> so x = 0

7 = 0       -----> no solution

x - 2 = 0   ----> so x = 2   after adding 2 to both sides

x + 2 = 0  ---> so = x - 2  after subtracting 2 to both sides


Thus the solutions are x = 0, x = 2, x = -2.

The numbers 1-4 are each written on an index card. The 4 cards are put into a bag and 2 of them are drawn at random. What is the
devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a list of all possible outcomes

1-2

1-3

1-4

2-1

2-3

2-4

3-1

3-2

3-4

4-1

4-2

4-3

There are 12 possible outcomes. How many of them have totals of 6 or 7

I count 4

So the probability is 4/12 = 1/3, just as you said.

Is there an easier way?

You might be able to get the 12 easier.

You have 4 choices for the first number and 3 for the second.

P(12) = 4*3 = 12

Getting 6 or 7 might be somewhat trickier.

4 and 3 make seven. That gives two ways 4-3 and 3-4

4 and 2 make six. That gives 2 more ways 4-2 and 2-4

That's all that's possible.

answer: 4 ways make success. The total number of ways is 12.
