We can do this using the binomial probability distribution:

5C2 * (1/2)^2 * (1/2)^3 = 10 * 1/32

= 5/16

The coin has to sides, so there are 2 possible choices given each of the 5 times. 2(5)=10. then, you divide 2 by that number (2/10), which is equal to 1/5

Which is the graph of g(x) = (0.5)x + 3 – 4? On a coordinate plane, an exponential function decreases in quadrant 2 and has a ho

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The graph will be an exponential function that crosses the y-axis at about (0, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x) = (0.5)^{x + 3} - 4$

That means that when x = 0...

$g(0) = (0.5)^{0 + 3} - 4$

$g(0) = (0.5)^{3} - 4$

$g(0) = 0.125 - 4$

$g(0) = -3.875$

So, the graph will be an exponential function that crosses the y-axis at about (0, -4).

Hope this helps!

In Virginia, 120 lame dogs were tested for arthritis and Lyme disease. The results showed that 42 of the dogs had Lyme disease,

miskamm [114]

Answer:

The number of dogs that had both Lyme disease and arthritis is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent dogs that have both Lyme disease and arthritis

Dog with only Lyme disease = 42 - x

Dog with only arthritis = 96 - x

The sum of the 3 category should give 120

x + (42 - x) + (96 - x) = 120

Collect like terms and solve

x - x - x + 42 + 96 = 120

-x + 138 = 120

138 - 120 = x

x = 18

Dog with only Lyme disease = 42 - x = 42 - 18 = 24

Dog with only arthritis = 96 - x = 96 - 18 = 78

Therefore, the number of dogs with both Lyme disease and anthritis is 18.
