Two coins are to be flipped. The first coin will land on heads with probability 0.6, the second with probability 0.7. Assume that the results of the flips are independent, and let X equal the total number of heads that result. (a) Find P{X=1}. (b) Determine E[X].

Step-by-step explanation:

P(X=1)  = P(first heads and second tails) +P(first tails and second heads)

            =P(first heads)×P(second tails)    +  P(first tails)  ×P(second heads)              

             because events are independent P(A∩B)  = P(A) ×P(B)

            = 0.6 ×0.3 + 0.4 ×0.7

            = 0.46

P(X=0)    = P(first tails and second tails)

               = 0.4  ×0.3

               =0.12

P(X=2)    =   P(first heads and second heads)

               = 0.6 ×0.7

               = 0.42

Mean   E(X)     =    0 ×0.12 + 1 × 0.46 + 2 ×0 0.42

                        =1.3            ( Because mean is ratio it can can be greater than 1 )

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
