Peter calculated that the theoretical probability of obtaining exactly two heads when flipping six coins is 23.4%. What number o
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The theoretical probability of obtaining exactly four heads when flipping six coins is also 23.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Getting x successes out of n trials is a binomial distribution and is given by:

p(x) = nC_{x} p^{n-x} q^{x}

Here, n = 6

x = 2

p = probability of one head = \frac{1}{2}

q = 1 - p

= 1-\frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

Substitute these values, we get,

p(2) = 6C_{2} (\frac{1}{2} )^{6-2} (\frac{1}{2} )^{2}

= 15(\frac{1}{2} )^{6}

= \frac{15}{64}

= 0.234

= 23.4%

We know that 6C_{2} =6C_{6-2}

6C_{2} =6C_{4}

Now,

p(4) = 6C_{4} (\frac{1}{2} )^{6-4} (\frac{1}{2} )^{4}

= 15(\frac{1}{2} )^{6}

= p(2)

Hence, the theoretical probability of obtaining exactly four heads when flipping six coins is also 23.4%.

How many liters of a 40% sugar solution must be mixed with 30 liters of a 60% sugar solution to make a 56 % sugar solution?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

7.5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what we need to know is the liters of the first solution, that we will call x. We know that the 40% of x plus the 60% of 30 MUST be equal to the 56% of total liters. The total liters are the sum of both substances, i.e, the x liters of the 1st sugar solution and the 30 liters of the second, which is 30+x liters. So, we have that:

0.4*x + 0.6*30 = 0.56(30+x)

Using distributive and the fact that 0.6*30 = 18 and 0.56*30=16.8

0.4x + 18 = 16.8 + 0.56x

Subtract 16.8 in both sides:

0.4x + 18 - 16.8 = 0.56x

0.4x + 1.2 = 0.56 x

Subtract now 0.4x in both sides:

1.2 = 0.56 x - 0.4x

1.2 = 0.16x

Divide both sides by 0.16

1.2/0.16 = 0.16/0.16 x

7.5 = x

So, the first solution must be of 7.5 liters in order to have a 56% in the mixture.

If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that both dice show an odd number?
dsp73
Well first take 1 die the chance of getting odd is 1/2 now the 2nd die is also 1/2 so what you do from now is multiply them 1/2*1/2=1/4

You have a 1/4 chance of both dice showing an odd number
