We flip a fair coin five times. For every heads you pay me $1 and for every tails I pay you $1. Let X denote the my net winning

at the end of the flips. Find the possible values and the probability mass function of X.

Answer:

The probability mass of X is 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

If we set the winning requirement of your heads and my tails then the occurring possibility of both is 1/2 or 0.5.

Hence let us make a graph and use the figures to calculate the all the probabilities of you getting a heads.

Where X represents the number of dollars won during the flip of the coin, probability of heads represent the chances of occurrence of the value and of winning the dollars.

The probability of winning start to drop as the winning amount increases.

       

     X                          0     1               2     3       4      5

Probability of Heads  0 0.50 0.25 0.13    0.06 0.03

Steve made a sign for his room that is shaped like a triangle. It is 4.5 feet long and 3 feet high. He wants to make another sig
Fed [463]

Answer: PART A : \frac{4.4}{x} = \frac{3}{4}

PART B : 5.9 FEET

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the first sign = 4.4 feet

height of the first sign = 3 feet

Length of the second sign = x feet

height of the second sign = 4 feet

If two shapes are similar , then the ratio of their sides are equal,

That is ;

\frac{h_{1}}{h_{2} } = \frac{L_{1}}{L_{2} }

PART A

\frac{4.4}{x} = \frac{3}{4}

PART B

\frac{4.4}{x} = \frac{3}{4}

cross multiplying , we have

3x = 4.4 x 4

3x = 17.6

Divide through by 3

x = 17.6/3

x = 5.86666666666667

x≈ 5.9 feet

Therefore , the length of the new sign is 5.9 feet

The sale price for a bicycle is $315 dollars. The original price was first discounted by 50% and then discounted an additional 1
Len [333]
This means that the bicycle was discounted in total by 60%, so $315 is 40% of the original price to get 40% to 100% youd multiply it by 2.5 so so the same to the price 315 x 2.5= 787.5

There are four activities on the critical path, and they have standard deviations of 1, 2, 4, and 2. what is the probability tha
Anit [1.1K]

Standard deviations of the four activities of the critical path are 1,2,4,2.

Standard deviation of this critical path = Sum of square root of variance of this corresponding critical path

Standard deviation of critical path =\sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2+2^2}

=\sqrt{1+4+16+4}

=\sqrt{25}

=5

Now we need to find the probability that the project will completed in 38 weeks given that its expected completion time is 40 weeks.

That is, we need to find P(X<38) :

z=\frac{38-40}{5}= \frac{-2}{5}=-0.4

P(X

Probability =0.5-0.16=0.34

Thus the probability that the project will be completed in 38 weeks is 0.34.
