Q:

A fair coin is tossed 11 times. What is the probability that only the first two tosses will yield heads ?

A) (1/2)^11 B) (9)(1/2)
C) (11C2)(1/2)^9 D) (1/2)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (1/2)^11

Explanation:

Probability of occurrence of an event, 

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S)


⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½, 

⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½, 

Hence, 

All the 11 tosses are independent of each other.

∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211

What is one way to appeal to ethos?

A) By referencing trusted sources B) By starting with a specific argument
C) By creating a repetitive pattern D) By choosing descriptive nouns
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) By creating a repetitive pattern

Explanation:

The Three Rhetorical Appeals is an argument made by Aristotle in which he states that there are three elements to the art of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.

 

Ethos is the ethical appeal, which intends to persuade the audience of the author's credibility/character.

Pathos is the emotional appeal, which intends to persuade the audience by appealing to their emotions.

Logos is the logical appeal, which intends to persuade the audience using reason and logic.

 

In order to make an ethos, or ethical appeal, convince the audience that you are a reliable, intelligent and can be trusted. Here is how you can achieve this:

1. Provide personal experience or know someone whose experience can relate to what you are talking about

2. Use detailed and recent research in your argument

3. Use professional and appropriate vocabulary

4. Avoid sounding overly emotional

5. Only use first person when talking about personal experience; otherwise, write in third person.
