Given that we have already tossed a balanced coin ten times and obtained zero heads, what is the probability that we must toss it at least two more times to obtain the first head

Answers

Answer 1

Final answer:

The probability that at least two more coin tosses are required to get the first head, after ten tails in a row with a balanced coin, is 50%.

Explanation:

The student is asking about the probability of a specific outcome in a sequence of coin tosses. Given that we have already tossed a balanced coin ten times and obtained zero heads, we want to calculate the probability of having to toss the coin at least two more times to get the first head. The probability of getting a head on any given coin toss is 0.5. To get the first head in at least two more tosses means we need a tail (T) on the next toss and then any outcome (H or T) after that. Therefore, we calculate the probability as follows:

The probability of getting a tail on the first toss is 0.5.The probability of getting any outcome on the second toss is 1 (since it can be either head or tail).

The combined probability is the product of the two individual probabilities, which is 0.5 * 1 = 0.5 or 50%. Hence, the probability that we must toss the coin at least two more times to obtain the first head is 50%.

Answers

The answer is A, because all of those options could be bisectors

Answer with explanation:

    The meaning of Perpendicular Bisector is ,to divide the segment into two equal parts , and angle between given segment and either ray or line or line segment which is used as perpendicular bisector has measure of angle equal to 90°.

A ray has a end point ,and other end goes infinitely in other direction.

A line has no end point in either direction.It goes till infinitely in both direction.

A segment has both ends fixed,does not go till infinity in either direction.

How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a hexagon

Answers

the hexagon has 6 vertices with 3 diagonals which gives you 18 divided by 2 = 9 diagonals

Nine diagonals can be drawn from the vertex of a hexagon.

What is diagonal?

A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment joining two vertex points, excluding the sides of the polygon.

The formula used to find the number of diagonals of a polygon is

(n(n-3))/2

where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

A hexagon has six sides. So, n=6.

The number of diagonals in a hexagon is given by

(6(6-3))/2=9

the recommended dosage of a drug for pediatric patients is 200 mg per kilogram of a patients weight if janine weights 76lb how much of the drug should she get

Answers

To determine the dosage of a drug for Janine, who weighs 76 pounds, convert her weight to kilograms and then multiply by the recommended dose per kilogram. The conversion and the dose calculation led to approximately 6894.6 mg of the drug.

The recommended dosage of a drug for pediatric patients is 200 mg per kilogram of the patient's weight. To calculate the dosage for Janine, who weighs 76 pounds, we first need to convert her weight from pounds to kilograms, as dosages are usually measured in metric units. To do so, we use the conversion factor where 1 kilogram equals 2.20462 pounds.

First, we convert Janine's weight to kilograms:
[tex]\frac{76}{2.20462}[/tex] lb/kg = 34.473 kg roughly.

Next, we calculate the total dosage needed in milligrams by multiplying her weight in kilograms by the dosage per kilogram:
34.473 kg * 200 mg/kg = 6894.6 mg.

Therefore, Janine should receive a dose of approximately 6894.6 mg of the drug.

Find the real roots of the equation x^4-5x^2-36=0

Answers

Treat x^4 as the square of p:  x^4 = p^2.

Then x^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0 becomes p^2 - 5p - 36 = 0.

This factors nicely, to (p-9)(p+4) = 0.  Then p = 9 and p = -4.

Equating 9 and x^2, we find that x=3 or x=-3.
Equating -4 and x^2, we see that there's no real solution.

Show that both x=3 and x=-3 are real roots of x^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0.

The root x = 1 has multiplicity 3 for the function f(x)=x^3-x^2-x+1. True or false

Answers

x^3 - x^2 - x + 1 = 0
Plug in x = 1:-
1 -1 - 1 + 1 = 2 - 2 = 0  so x =1 is a root.

If it has multiplicity 3 then  the function will factor to (x - 1)^3:-

(x - 1)^3 = (x - 1)(x^2 - 2x + 1) =  x^3 - 2x^2  + x - x^2 + 2x - 1 
             
 =  x^3 - 3x^2 + 3x - 1  so it is FALSE

Final answer:

The root x = 1 has multiplicity 3 for the function f(x) = x³ - x² - x + 1.

Explanation:

The statement is true.

A root of a polynomial function has a multiplicity equal to the number of times it appears as a factor in the polynomial. In this case, the root x = 1 appears three times as a factor in the function f(x) = x³ - x² - x + 1. Therefore, it has a multiplicity of 3.

for the calculation of the total volume I will assume that each ball is a cube

The volume of each ball is

The temperature of dry ice is −109.3°f−109.3°f. this is 184.9°f184.9°f less than the outside temperature. write and solve an equation to find the outside temperature tt (in degrees fahrenheit).

Answers

Final answer:

To find the outside temperature T when the temperature of dry ice is -109.3°F, and it is 184.9°F less than the outside temperature, we simply need to add those two numbers. The outside temperature T is found to be 75.6°F.

Explanation:

The student is asked to find the outside temperature T given that the temperature of dry ice is −109.3°F. The temperature of dry ice is 184.9°F less than the outside temperature. To find the outside temperature, we can set up the following equation:

T = (-109.3°F) + 184.9°F

Now, we simply add the two numbers to solve for T:

T = 75.6°F

The calculation shows that the outside temperature T is 75.6°F.

Samantha is planting a garden in her backyard that is going to be 600 square inches. She loves tomatoes and wants them to cover 60% of the garden. She then put lettuce in 1/3 of what was left. The remaining part of her garden was used for fresh herbs. What is the area of the garden that is fresh herbs?

Answers

60% of 600 :

10% of 600 is 60
60×6=360

so 360 sq inches are used for tomatoes.

600-360=240

240 square inches are left

240/3 = 80 square inches used for lettuce

240-80=160

therefore she uses 160 square inches of garden for fresh herbs! :)
