Evelyn believes that if she flips a coin 480 times, it will land tails up exactly 240 times. What would you tell Evelyn about he

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd tell her that if (and only if) her prediction is correct, the probability of getting tails is 0.5.  Actually, the probability of getting heads would be the same, 0.5.

In real life she would not necessarily get 240 tails out of 480 tosses, but the mean value of the number of tails would indeed be close to 0.5.

The equation A(t) = 900(0.85)t represents the value of a motor scooter t years after it was purchased. Which statements are also
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

When new, the scooter cost $900

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>

we have

A(t)=900(0.85)^t

This is a exponential function of the form

A(t)=a(b)^t

where

A(t) ----> represent the value of a motor scooter

t ----> the number of years after it was purchased

a ---> represent the initial value or y-intercept

b is the base of the exponential function

r is the percent rate of change

b=(1+r)

In this problem we have

a=\$900\\b=0.85

The base b is less than 1

That means ----> is a exponential decay function (is a decreasing function)

Find the percent rate of change

b=(1+r)\\0.85=1+r\\r=0.85-1\\r=-0.15

Convert to percentage (multiply by 100)

r=-15\% ---> negative means is a decreasing function

<u><em>Verify each statements</em></u>

<em>case A</em>) When new, the scooter cost $765.

The statement is false

Because the original value of the scooter was $900

case B) When new, the scooter cost $900

The statement is true (see the explanation)

case C) The scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 85%  each year

The statement is false

Because the scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 15%  each year (see the explanation)

case D) The scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of  0.15% each year

The statement is false

Because the scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 15%  each year (see the explanation)

The probability would be 0.000017.

70% of the 20 questions is 14 questions correct.  Using a binomial distribution for this, we have:

A laundry basket contains 18 blue socks and 24 black socks. What is the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without r
lisov135 [29]
P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacing): 23/41. As a result, the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861 or 32%. Hope it help!
