Mathematics High School

An ordinary coin is thrown 50 times.
Barry says "I am going to get heads 25 times and tails 25 times."
Explain why he could be wrong.

Answers

Answer 1
He has a 50% chance of getting either one any time he throws the coin. Although unlikely, he could potentially throw the coin and get heads 100 times. Or he could get tails 100 times. Or any amount in between!
Answer 2

He could get  25 heads out of the 50 times but the percentage of happening that is very narrow.

What is probability?

Probability is a number that expresses the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Both proportions ranging from 0 to 1 and percentages ranging from 0% to 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

given, An ordinary coin is thrown 50 times. Barry says "I am going to get heads 25 times and tails 25 times."

To better understand Why he could be wrong we need to Understand the difference between Theoretical probability and Actual probability:

The theoretical probability of an occurrence indicates its propensity to occur. The theoretical probability of receiving heads is 1/2 since we know that flipping a coin has an equal chance of landing heads or tails. The frequency of an event actually occurring in an experiment is referred to as its experimental probability.

Because theoretical probability is based on models rather than reality, it isn't very helpful for determining probability in the actual world. Subjective probability is dependent on an individual's own assumptions and biases. It's the likelihood that an individual will encounter the result they are anticipating based on their prior experiences.

Answers

Answer:

I will try my best. Don't really know if this is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first, you will have to get a mixed number, 9/2. And then divide 9/2 to 3/1. ( 9/2 divided by 3/1 = ? ) Then, multiply the equation. ( ? x 3 = 9/2 )

Last, draw a diagram to represent the answer.

9/2 = ? ? ? (Pretend that is a diagram) ? = 3/2 gallon

You will have to simplify the answer to get 3/2 gallon.

Look, I tried my best trying to explain everything, this question is very confusing and hard to do.

Answer:  10x - 1

==============================================

Explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x, and vice versa. This is true as long as x is not 0.

The multiplicative inverse of 1/5 is 5. These two values multiply to 1. This is true of any multiplicative inverse pairing.

----------

What we need to do is multiply 5 with (2x-1/5)

Use the distributive property to get the following

5*(2x-1/5)

5*(2x) - 5*(1/5)

10x - 5/5

10x - 1

I multiplied the outer 5 by each term inside (the 2x and 1/5) and simplified.
