Hey guys,
need help in solving those problems
What is the probability of six tails out of nine tosses of a fair coin?

A donut shop bakes a dozen donuts at a cost of $4. To achieve a 33% profit on sales,what is the minimum sales price the donut shop set for each donut?

How do you solve this probleme?

What is the probability of six tails out of nine tosses of a fair coin?

p = probability of getting a tails (1/2)
C(x,y) where x = 9 and y = 6.
C(x,y) = x!/[y!*(x-y)!]

The equation to solve this is (just memorize it):

C(x,y)*p^(x)*(1-p)^(x-y)

Plug in the values for x and y and you should get 21/128

Cost to make a donut: 4.00/12 donuts = 0.33/donut
0.33 *1.33 (want to break even and make an additional 33% so 100% + 33% = 1.33) = 43 cents per donut.

if i remember correctly, topscore does have 43 cents listed as a choice, but selling a donut for 40 cents isn't enough so you're left with the best answer, 50 cents.


In a regualr deck of fity-two card,what is the probaility of drawing a diamond on the first try?

52 cards in a deck. 12 cards are diamonds, 12 are spades, 12 are clubs, 12 are hearts. so the probability of drawing a diamond is 12/52, or 1/4.

Hope this helps ya out.

it should be 13 for each suit...thus 13/52 and still 1/4

i'm sure this just slipped your mind but i'm anal like that... 😀
