Answer:

P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fair coin is flipped twelve times.

It means the number of possible sequences of heads and tails would be:

2¹² = 4096

We can determine the number of ways that such a sequence could contain exactly 9 tails is the number of ways of choosing 9 out of 12, using the formula

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!\left(n-r\right)!}

Plug in n = 12 and r = 9

       =\frac{12!}{9!\left(12-9\right)!}

       =\frac{12!}{9!\cdot \:3!}

       =\frac{12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10}{3!}            ∵ \frac{12!}{9!}=12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10

       =\frac{1320}{6}                   ∵ 3!\:=\:3\times 2\times 1=6

       =220

Thus, the probability will be:

P\left(E\right)=\frac{n\left(E\right)}{n\left(S\right)}

         =\frac{220}{4096}

         =\frac{55}{1024}

Thus, the probability of the coin landing tails up exactly nine times will be:

P\left(E\right)=\frac{55}{1024}

Geometry: The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 34cm and the given area. Its length is 5 more than twice it's width. Write and
Thepotemich [5.8K]

w - width

2w + 5 - length

w + w + (2w + 5) + (2w + 5) = 6w + 10 - perimeter

34 cm - perimeter

The equation:

6w + 10 = 34    <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>

6w = 24    <em>divide both sides by 6</em>

w = 4 cm

2w + 5 = 2(4) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13 cm

<h3>Answer: Width = 4cm, Length = 13cm</h3>
