Answer:

The probability of tails coming up is $\dfrac{3}{5}$

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a coin has been altered so that the probability of heads coming up is 2/5.

A coin has two possibility either head or coin.

We are given probability of heads coming up is 2/5

$P(H)=\dfrac{2}{5}$

The sum of probability of all value is 1.

$P(H)+P(T)=1$

$\dfrac{2}{5}+P(T)=1$

$P(T)=1-\dfrac{2}{5}$

$P(T)=\dfrac{3}{5}$

Hence, The probability of tails coming up is $\dfrac{3}{5}$

How to get answer for number 1: | 4+2i |

$\left|a+bi\right|\:=\sqrt{\left(a+bi\right)\left(a-bi\right)}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\\\mathrm{With\:}a=4,\:b=2\\=\sqrt{4^2+2^2}\\Refine\\=\sqrt{20}\\\sqrt{20}=2\sqrt{5}\\=2\sqrt{5}$

$\left|a+bi\right|\:=\sqrt{\left(a+bi\right)\left(a-bi\right)}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\\\mathrm{With\:}a=5,\:b=-1\\=\sqrt{5^2+\left(-1\right)^2}\\=\sqrt{26}$
