Answer:
B. 6.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
For each time that the coin is tosse, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it comes up tails, or it does not. The probability of coming up tails on a toss is independent of any other toss. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
![P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%20%3D%20x%29%20%3D%20C_%7Bn%2Cx%7D.p%5E%7Bx%7D.%281-p%29%5E%7Bn-x%7D)
In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
![C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C_%7Bn%2Cx%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bn%21%7D%7Bx%21%28n-x%29%21%7D)
And p is the probability of X happening.
Fair coin:
Equally as likely to come up heads or tails, so ![p = 0.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%20%3D%200.5)
Probability that the first tails comes up on the 4th flip of the coin?
0 tails during the first three, which is P(X = 0) when n = 3.
Tails in the fourth, with probability 0.5. So
![p = 0.5P(X = 0)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%20%3D%200.5P%28X%20%3D%200%29)
![P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28X%20%3D%20x%29%20%3D%20C_%7Bn%2Cx%7D.p%5E%7Bx%7D.%281-p%29%5E%7Bn-x%7D)
![p = 0.5P(X = 0) = 0.5*(C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3}) = 0.0625](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%20%3D%200.5P%28X%20%3D%200%29%20%3D%200.5%2A%28C_%7B3%2C0%7D.%280.5%29%5E%7B0%7D.%280.5%29%5E%7B3%7D%29%20%3D%200.0625)
0.0625 * 100 = 6.25%
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, the correct answer is:
B. 6.3%
Answer:
The probability is 0.026 to 3 d.p
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate this , we shall be using the Bernoulli approximation.
let P = percentage of voters supporting the increase = 41% = 41/100 = 0.41
q = percentage of voters not supporting = 100-41% = 59% = 59/100 = 0.59
Now we want to calculate that exactly 15 out of 25 will vote in favor
Mathematically that would be ;
25C15 p^15 q^10
= 25C15 0.41^15 0.59^10
= 0.025981307443 or simply 0.026 to 3 decimal places
Solve for y...
2xy=1
y=1/(2x)
So this is a function as each x value (with the exception of x=0) produces just one value for y. However, technically there is a vertical asymptote about the vertical line x=0. So there is a discontinuity as x=0.
I say this technically, because most would say that this function is true even with the discontinuity (as they do with say y=tana), but technically the discontinuity makes this not a function because another requirement of a function is for their to be an actual output value for each input value. In this case division by zero when x=0 is undefined and cannot be included as part of a function. So if you are picky about being absolute, 2xy=1 is really two functions. One with a domain of (-oo,0) and another with a domain of (0,+oo).
