You are given an unfair coin (i.e. a coin where the probability of it landing on either side is NOT 1/21/2) and told that the pr

obability of getting at least one tails in three tosses of said coin is 26/2726/27. The probability of getting heads in one toss of the unfair coin can be expressed in the form M/NM/N, where MM and NN are relatively prime positive integers (i.e. their greatest common divisor is 1). Compute M + NM+N

Here we have a problem of probability, we will find that the probability of landing in heads is M/N = 1/3, then we have:

M + N = 1 + 3 = 4.

Let's see how we got that:

Let's define:

p = probability of landing on tails

q = probability of landing on heads.

The probability of getting at least one tails in 3 tosses is 26/27

This means that the probability of not getting tails in the 3 tosses is:

P = 1 - 26/27 = 1/27

And the case where you do not get any tails in the 3 tosses, means that in all the 3 tosses you got heads.

The probability of getting 3 heads in a row is:

P = q^3 = 1/27

Solving for q, we get:

q = ∛(1/27) = 1/3

Now we want to express q = M/N = 1/3

then we have:

M = 1

N = 3

Now we want to compute M + N = 1 + 3 = 4

Answer:

  9.  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6

  11.  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible rational roots are (plus or minus) the divisors of the constant term, divided by the divisors of the leading coefficient.

Here, the leading coefficient is 1 in each case, so the possible rational roots are plus or minus a divisor of the constant term.

__

9. The constant is -6. Divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. The possible rational roots are ...

  ±{1, 2, 3, 6}

__

11. The constant is 12. Divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. The possible rational roots are ...

  ±{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}

_____

A graphing calculator is useful for seeing if any of these values actually are roots of the equation. (The 4th-degree equation will have 2 complex roots.)

12 and 1/2 + 1 and 5/8
ki77a [65]

Answer: 14 1/8

Step-by-step explanation: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions. In this case, we have two fractions \frac{1}{2} and \frac{5}{8} and these fractions have unlike denominators. We need to find a common denominator for both of these fractions to be able to add.

<u>Least Common Denominator:</u>

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{8}

\frac{5}{8} = \frac{5}{8}

12 4/8 + 1 5/8 = 13 9/8

Notice that 9/8 is an improper fraction so we can change it to a mixed number.

9/8 = 1 1/8

13 + 1 and 1/8 = 14 1/8
