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

Which of all the following inequalities is true for all real values of x?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

  C.  1/(x^2 +1) > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The cube of a negative number is negative, eliminating choices B and D for certain negative values of x.

1/x^2 is undefined for x=0, so cannot be compared to zero.

The value 1/(x^2+1) is positive everywhere, so that is the expression you're looking for.

  1/(x^2 +1) > 0
