Alice and Bob play a game that begins with flipping a fair coin twice. If the coin lands heads up on both flips, Bob wins. If the coin lands heads up on only one flip, Alice wins. If the coin lands tails up on both flips, they flip two more times, and this process continues until there is a winner. What is the probability that Bob wins the game?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 (or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex])

Step-by-step explanation:

As the coin is fair, there is an equal chance the coin lands on heads or tails, therefore:

Probability of heads = 0.5 (or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex])

Probability of tails = 0.5 (or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex])

For Bob to win, the coin must land on heads twice, To work this out, we multiply the two events together.

Probability of 2 heads = 0.5 (probability of landing heads up) x 0.5 (probability of landing heads up) = 0.25 (or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex])

Question 2
Find the equation of the line parallel to y = x - 2 that passes through the point (-3,2).

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the required line is y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the given line is y = x - 2

The required line = A line parallel to the given line

The point through which the required line passes = (-3, 2)

The general form of the equation of a straight line, is y = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope of the line

By comparison, the slope of the given line, m = 1

When two lines are parallel, their slope are equal

Therefore, the slope of the required line = m = 1

The equation of the required line in point and slope form is therefore;

y - 2 = x - (-3) = x + 3

∴y = x + 3 + 2 = x + 5

The equation of the required line is therefore;

y = x + 5.

Mrs. Smith is creating a rectangular flower bed such that the width is half of the
length. The area of the flower bed is 34 square feet. Write and solve an equation
to determine the width of the flower bed, to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

As for this problem, we will first establish that the length of the flower bed be represented as x, the width of the flower bed be represented as x/2 ,and the area of the flower bed be taken as it is since it is given. We then follow the formula for area which is length multiplied to width which is:

A = LW

we then substitute them

34 square feet = x (x/2)

now all we need to do is find x first.

34 square feet = x squared / 2

now do a cross multiplication

68 square feet = x squared

then get the square root of both sides

8.246 feet = x

Since x is equal to the length of the flower bed, all we have to do to get the width of it is to divide it by 2. So...

W = x/2

W = 8.246 feet / 2

W = 4.123 feet

And since the problem asked it to find the width of the flower bed to the nearest tenth of a foot, the answer would be 4.1 ft.

Find the radius y of circle C, given that x = 12 and z = y + 8.
PLEASEEE HELP ME

Answers

i think the answer is 3 :))

The radius of the given circle is 5, option C is correct.

What is Trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.

In the given figure, y is the radius.

By pythagoras theorem we find the radius

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

AC²+AB²=BC²

y²+12²=(y+8)²

y²+12²=y²+64+16y

144=16y+64

Subtract 64 from both sides

144-64 = 16y

80=16y

Divide both sides by 16

y=5

Hence, the radius of the given circle is 5, option C is correct.

Answer: C

Complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees. So to solve you would add each angle to the other to see if they add up to 90 degrees.

A. 31 + 69 = 100 (does not equal 90, so no)

B. 90 + 90 = 180 (they equal 180, which would be supplementary)

C. 56 + 34 = 90 (they equal 90, therefore they would be the complimentary angles)

slope = 4, point (3,-2) is on the line

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that (3, -2) is on this line. So 3 = m(-2)+b.

This leaves us with two variables the slope (m) and the y intercept (b).

But wait a minute, the slope is given to us since it says slope = 4.

Our equation is now, 3 = 4(-2)+b

3 = -8 + b

b = 11.

Our final equation is now y = 4x + b.

(y,x) is a point on this line.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS I'VE BEEN STUCK ON HERE FOR SO LONG​

Answers

Answer:

# means number

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Y-axis or output

Cost= X-axis or input

you do not need to add the brackets for the formula(BEDMAS), but it makes things clearer

For A -

the Y-intercept is where the first coordinate, or the # or the X-axis, is 0 (on the graph the y-intercept 0,4)

For B -

y = mx + b

m =  slope

x = input or # on the X-axis

b = y-intercept

or

formula = (input x increase in the slope) + output for 0 or (distance x increase in cost) + output for 0

input(x axis)         output(y axis)

0                 5    ← output for 0

1                  9  

2                 13

there is a +4 increase in the slope, the increase in the slope is an output #(in this case 9) - the previous output number (in this case 5)

formula = (input x increase in the slope) + output for 0 = distance

formula in use = (3 x 4) + 5 = 17

For C:

The dependent variable is the output or the cost because the input or the distance will determine the cost travelled. Eg. if I travel 9 miles it will cost $41. If the dependent variable is the cost then the independent variable is the distance

For D: (input x increase in the slope) + output for 0

(4.2 miles x $4) + 5

16.8 + 5 = $21.8; It will cost $21.8 to travel 4.2miles

For E: (distance x increase in cost) + output for 0

(? x 4) + 5 = 14

(14 - 5) = 9

9 ÷ 4 = 2.25miles; with 14 dollars I could travel 2.25 miles

(It is a bit confusing lol, but this is the way I understand it, if you can't understand it this way then use y = mx + b)

Raj is travelling to another country.
He flies for 5 hours at an average speed of 950 km/h on one plane.
He then flies for 6 hours 30 minutes at an average speed of 830 km/h on a second plane.
What is the total distance, in km, he travelled by plane?

Answers

Answer:

9,315 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that distance = rate times time.

The distance flown at 950 km/h is (950)(5) km = 4,740 km

and:

The distance flown at 830 km/h is (830)(5.5) km = 4,565 km

Then the total distane Raj traveled is (4,740 km + 4,565 km) = 9,315 km

Find the mean, median, and mode of the following set of data:

54, 48, 37, 55, 51, 54, 42, 52, 53

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mode is means the data which is repeated maximum number of times.

here 54 is repeated maximum number of times so the mode of the given data is 54.

to calculate median u must arrange the data from ascending to descending order.

37 , 42 , 48 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 54 , 55 ,

median = (N + 1) /2    (N means number of data)

=9 + 1/2

=10/2

=5 th term

=52

Mean: 49.6
Median: 52
Mode: 54

For the median, we have to put the data in order:

37, 42, 48, 51, 52, 53, 54, 54, 55.

The middle number is the median: 52 (there are 4 numbers higher and 4 numbers lower than 52)

The mode is the number that occurs most often. 54 is the only one that shows up more than once.

Triangle PQR is similar to triangle XYZ. The length of PQ is one-half the length of XY. THe length of RP is 2 cm. Which proportion can be used to find the length of ZX?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]ZX = 4cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]PQ = \frac{1}{2}XY[/tex]

[tex]RP = 2cm[/tex]

Required

Find ZX

[tex]\triangle PQR[/tex] similar to [tex]\triangle XYZ[/tex] implies that, the following sides are similar

[tex]PQ \to XY[/tex]

[tex]QR \to YZ[/tex]

[tex]RP \to ZX[/tex]

To find ZX, we make use of the following equivalent ratio

[tex]PQ : XY = RP : ZX[/tex]

Where

[tex]PQ = \frac{1}{2}XY[/tex]

[tex]RP = 2cm[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}XY : XY = 2cm : ZX[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}XY }{ XY }= \frac{2cm }{ ZX}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}= \frac{2cm }{ ZX}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The lines meet at (-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Line A :

Solve for x and y from the linear equation to find where line A and line B meets :

2y = 3x - 3 => 3x - 2y = 3 ------- (1)

3y = -x - 10 => -x = 3y + 10

                => x = - 3y - 10 --------(2)

Substitute (2) in (1) : => 3(- 3y - 10) - 2y = 3

                                   -9y - 30 -2y = 3

                                       -11y = 3 + 30

                                         -11y = 33

                                            y = -3

Substitute y in (2) : => x = -3 (-3) - 10 = 9 - 10 = -1
