How many ways can a person toss a coin 16 times so that the number of heads is between 7 and 14 inclusive

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

50626 ways with a probability of 0.77

Step-by-step explanation:

If a coin is tossed once, there are two possible results - a head or a tail. i.e 2¹ = 2

If the coin is tossed twice, there are four possible results - 4 heads no tail, 4 tails no head, 1 head 3tails or 2 heads 2 tails. That is 2² = 4

If the coin is tossed thrice, there are eight possible results. That is 2³ = 8.

Now, if the coin is tossed 16 times, there are 2¹⁶ = 65536 likely results.

From these 16 tosses, let's calculate the number of ways of achieving or selecting 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 heads. We use the combination formula given as follows;

Cₙ, ₓ = n! ÷ [ (n-x)! (x)! ]

Where;

n = number of tosses

x = number of selection

number of ways of getting 7 heads;

n = 16

x = 7

=> C₁₆, ₇ = 16! ÷ [ (16-7)! (7)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₇ = 16! ÷ [ (9)! (7)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₇ = 11440

number of ways of getting 8 heads;

n = 16

x = 8

=> C₁₆, ₈ = 16! ÷ [ (16-8)! (8)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₈ = 16! ÷ [ (8)! (8)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₈ = 12870

number of ways of getting 9 heads;

n = 16

x = 9

=> C₁₆, ₉ = 16! ÷ [ (16-9)! (9)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₉ = 16! ÷ [ (7)! (9)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₉ = 11440

number of ways of getting 10 heads;

n = 16

x = 10

=> C₁₆, ₁₀ = 16! ÷ [ (16-10)! (10)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₀ = 16! ÷ [ (6)! (10)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₀ = 8008

number of ways of getting 11 heads;

n = 16

x = 11

=> C₁₆, ₁₁ = 16! ÷ [ (16-11)! (11)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₁ = 16! ÷ [ (5)! (11)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₁ = 4368

number of ways of getting 12 heads;

n = 16

x = 12

=> C₁₆, ₁₂ = 16! ÷ [ (16-12)! (12)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₂ = 16! ÷ [ (4)! (12)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₂ = 1820

number of ways of getting 13 heads;

n = 16

x = 13

=> C₁₆, ₁₃ = 16! ÷ [ (16-13)! (13)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₃ = 16! ÷ [ (3)! (13)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₃ = 560

number of ways of getting 14 heads;

n = 16

x = 14

=> C₁₆, ₁₄ = 16! ÷ [ (16-14)! (14)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₄ = 16! ÷ [ (2)! (14)! ]

=> C₁₆, ₁₄ = 120

Therefore, the total number of ways of achieving 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 heads is the sum of the results above. i.e

11440 + 12870 + 11440 + 8008 + 4368 + 1820 + 560 + 120 = 50626 ways

P(getting number of heads between 7 and 14 inclusive) = [number of ways of achieving 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 ] ÷ [total number of possible outcomes]

= [tex]\frac{50626}{65536}[/tex]

= 0.77

Enter the ordered pair that is the solution to the system of equations graphed
below.
y = -3x + 7
y = -2x + 5

Answers

Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 7 = -2x + 5

x = 2

y = -6 + 7

y = 1

Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

One thing you need to remind yourself of: The y value in both equations must be the same.

That means that the two right hand values are

-3x + 7 = - 2x + 5         Subtract 5 from both sides.

      -5              -5

-3x + 2 = - 2x               Add 3x to both sides

+3x          +3x

       2 = x

Now use one of the equations to solve for y

y = -2x + 5

y = -2(2) + 5

y = - 4 + 5

y = 1

We should check this by graphing it. Notice the two graphs do cross at (2,1) just as predicted.

the single discount of two successive discounts 10% and 5% is​

Answers

Answer:

14.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the number 100 as an example to find the single discount.

Take a 10% discount off of this:

100(0.9)

= 90

Take a 5% discount:

90(0.95)

= 85.5

So, after the successive discounts, $14.5 was discounted.

This means that the single discount is 14.5%.

So, the answer is 14.5%

solve 4(8-2x)=2(7-x)​

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

First, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.

2(8 - 2x) = 7 - x

Distribute the 2.

16 - 4x = 7 - x

Add 4x to and subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.

9 = 3x

Divide by 3 to both sides of the equation.

x = 3 <-- This is the answer.

Answers

Answer:

  C.  -2.00 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The average velocity on the interval [a, b] is found by ...

  m = (s(b) -s(a))/(b -a)

One end of the interval remains constant here, so we can define 'd' so that the interval is [4, 4+d]. Then the average velocity is ...

  m = (s(4 +d) -s(4))/((4 +d) -4)

  m = (s(4+d) -s(4))/d

The attached table shows the average velocity values on the intervals required by the problem statement. Respectively, they are ...

  -1.5 m/s, -1.7 m/s, -1.9 m/s, -1.99 m/s, 2.01 m/s, 2.1 m/s, 2.3 m/s, 2.5 m/s

We expect the instantaneous velocity at d=0 to be the average of the values at d=-0.01 and d=+0.01. We estimate the instantaneous velocity at t=4 seconds to be -2.00 m/s.

A customer buys a different book that has an original selling price of $38. The book is discounted 25%. The customer must pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the book.
What is the total amount, in dollars, the customer pays for the discounted book? Explain and SHOW how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer:

$30.21

Step-by-step explanation:

100% -25%= 75%

Discounted price of the book

= 75% ×$38

= $28.50

Since the customer must pay an additional 6% of the discounted price,

percentage of discounted price paid

= 100% +6%

= 106%

Total amount paid

= 106% × $28.50

= $30.21

_________________________________

Alternative working:

Original selling price= $38

Since the book is discounted 25%,

100% ----- $38

1% ----- $0.38

75% ----- 75 ×$0.38= $28.50

Since the sales tax is based on the discounted price, we let the discounted price be 100%.

100% ----- $28.50

1% ----- $0.285

106% ----- 106 ×$0.285= $30.21

∴ The total amount the customer pays for the discounted book is $30.21.

Answer:

The null (H[tex]_{0}[/tex]) and alternative (H[tex]_{1}[/tex]) hypotheses can be stated as follows:

H[tex]_{0}[/tex]:  μ[tex]_{1}[/tex] = μ[tex]_{2}[/tex].

H[tex]_{1}[/tex]: μ[tex]_{1}[/tex] > μ[tex]_{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, the given assertion is that carpeted rooms have more bacteria than uncarpeted rooms, i.e. μ[tex]_{1}[/tex] > μ[tex]_{2}[/tex].

The assertion made in the question can either be the null hypothesis (H[tex]_{0}[/tex]) or the alternate hypothesis (H[tex]_{1}[/tex]). An equality must be present in the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis expresses the exact opposite of the null hypothesis if the claim is the null hypothesis.

Therefore, the null (H[tex]_{0}[/tex]) and alternative (H[tex]_{1}[/tex]) hypotheses can be stated as follows:

H[tex]_{0}[/tex]:  μ[tex]_{1}[/tex] = μ[tex]_{2}[/tex].

H[tex]_{1}[/tex]: μ[tex]_{1}[/tex] > μ[tex]_{2}[/tex].

I How much time does to take for the horse to complete one cycle of motion and return to its starting height. What is the maximum height and the minimum height of the horse's saddle above the base ofthe carousel

Answers

Answer:

(a) The time to complete 1 cycle and return is 16/3

(b) The minimum height is 30 inches and the maximum is 54 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(t) = 12\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}t) + 42[/tex]

Solving (a): Time to complete 1 cycle and return

This implies that we calculate the period.  This is calculated using:

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{w}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]w =\frac{3\pi}{8}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{3\pi}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{2}{\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{2*8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Solving (b): The maximum and the minimum height

To do this, we have:

[tex]-1 \le \sin(\theta) \le 1[/tex]

Which means:

[tex]-1 \le \sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}) \le 1[/tex]

So, the minimum is:

[tex]\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}) =- 1[/tex]

And the maximum is:

[tex]\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}) =1[/tex]

Recall that the height is:

[tex]f(t) = 12\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}t) + 42[/tex]

So, the maximum and the minimum of  are:

[tex]h_{min} =12 * -1 + 42[/tex]

[tex]h_{min} =30[/tex]

and

[tex]h_{max} =12*1+42[/tex]

[tex]h_{max} =54[/tex]

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

a² = b² + c²

Where:

a => hypotenuse

Assume that the opposite and the adjacent sides are given as 3 and 4, respectively.

The hypotension becomes

a² = 3² + 4²

a² = 9 + 16.

a² = 25

Take square roots.

a = 5

Answers

Answer:

The width of the rectangle lies between 12 and 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle is w.

length of the rectangle,

L = 8 w + 20

116 < L < 180

So,

116 < 8 w + 20 < 180

96 < 8 w < 160

12 < w < 20

So, the width of the rectangle lies between 12 and 20.
