If you flip a coin one time, the probability to get a Head is

p = 1/2

The probability of not getting a head in a single toss is :

q = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2

Thus there is only one unique situation to get the same number of heads and tails : in 10 toss you need to get exactly five heads, it will means that the rest is the tails.

Now using Binomial theorem of probability, the probability of getting exactly x = 5 heads in a total of n = 10 tosses is :

P(X = 5) = \frac{10!}{5!*5!} *(\frac{1}{2})^{5} *(\frac{1}{2})^{5}≈ 0.246

So the probability of that is 24,6 %

Good Luck

PLEASE HELP ASAP, I WILL GIVE 40 POINTS IF THE RIGHT ANSWER, AND BRAINLEST, ASAP
Lilit [14]

Answer:

We multiply by 2 and add 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the pattern,  we find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( 10-6)/(3-1)

m = 4/2

m =2

We are multiplying by 2

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x+b

Using the point (1,6)

6 = 2(1)+b

6 = 2+b

The y intercept is 4

y = 2x+4

We multiply by 2 and add 4

What value of n makes the equation n/3 - 2 = 4 true?<br> Show your work.
patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n/3 - 2 = 4             Add 2 to both sides

n/3 - 2 + 2 = 4+2    Combine

n/3 = 6                  Multiply both sides by 3

3*n/3 = 6 * 3

n = 18
