This can be solved by using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.
mean = np = 10.000 * 0.5 = 5,000
The standard deviation is given by:
S.D.= \sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{5000\times0.5} =50
z=\frac{5100-5000}{50}=2
The probability of obtaining more than 5100 tails is 0.0228 and the probability of obtaining fewer than 5100 tails is 0.9772.
The odds of obtaining more than 5100 tails is therefore:
0.0228:0.9772 = 1:42.86.

A number, y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3. The same number is one-third of the sum of the large number an
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>Let the larger number be x.

</span><span>A number, y, is equal to the difference of a larger number and 3.

y = x - 3

x - y = 3

</span>The same number is one-third of the sum of the large number and 9.

y = (1/3)(x + 9)

3y = x + 9

x - 3y = -9

The equations are:
x - y = 3
x - 3y = -9

How do you use a number line to solve 235+123
Novosadov [1.4K]
<span>Number line refers to a mathematical process of solving the equation with the use of lines.
=> 235 + 123
Starting from 0 you count 1 up to 235. Then starting from 235 you additionally count another 123.
Then from zero start counting the total number to the line you stopped when adding 123 to 235.

This simply equals to
=> 235 + 123
=> 358.

FWML is a parallelogram. Find the values of x and y. Solve for the value of z, if z=x−y
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

x=5

y=8

z=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a parallelogram. We are asked to solve for the values of x and y.

We know that opposite sides of parallelogram are equal, so we can set equation as:

3x-3=x+7

3x-x-3=x-x+7

2x-3=7

2x-3+3=7+3

2x=10

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{10}{2}

x=5

Similarly, we will solve for y.

2y-6=y+2

2y-y-6=y-y+2

y-6=2

y-6+6=2+6

y=8

To solve for z, we will subtract y from x as:

z=x-y\\z=5-8\\z=-3

Therefore, the value of z is negative 3.

If the function y = sinx is transformed to y = 3 sine (two-thirds x), how do the amplitude and period change?
icang [17]

Answer:

Amplitude increases and the period decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to compare amplitude change and period change

The first equation is;

y = sin x

The second is

y = 3 sine (2/3)x

Generally, the equation of a sine graph can be written as;

y = a sin (bx + c)

where a represents the amplitude and b refers to the period

In the first equation , a = 1 while in the second , a = 3 ; This shows an amplitude increase

In the first equation, b = 1 while in the second equation b = 2/3; this shows a period decrease

The percent decrease from 12 to 9 is equal to the percent decrease from 40 to what number
Zina [86]
(12 - 9) / 12 = (40 - x) / 40
3/12 = (40 - x) / 40
40(1/4) = 40 - x
10 = 40 - x
10 - 40 = -x
-30 = -x
30 = x <=== percent decrease from 40 to 30
