Textbook Question
Chapter 9.4, Problem 16E
(a) Try to use both the binomial probability formula and the normal approximation to the binomial to calculate the probability that exactly half of the coins come up heads if the following number of coins are flipped. You may run into problems using the binomial probability formula for part (iii).
(i) 10
(ii) 100
(iii) 1000
(b) If you ran into problems using the binomial probability formula for part (iii), tell what happened and explain why it happened.
(c) Someone might speculate that with more coins, the probability that exactly half are heads goes up with the number of coin flips. Based on the results from part (a), does this happen? Explain the error in the speculation.

Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach
one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck
starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a
horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate
a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The
angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude
and its direction angle from the positive x-axis.

- There are three options for investing $1150. The first earns 10% compounded annually, the second earns 10% compounded quarterly, and the third earns 10% compounded continuously. Find equations that model each investment growth and use a graphing utility to graph each model in the same viewing window over a 20-year period. Use the graph to determine which investment yields the highest return after 20 years. What are the differences in earnings among the three investment? STEP 1: The formula for compound interest is A = nt = P(1 + − − ) n², where n is the number of compoundings per year, t is the number of years, r is the interest rate, P is the principal, and A is the amount (balance) after t years. For continuous compounding, the formula reduces to A = Pert Find r and n for each model, and use these values to write A in terms of t for each case.
