{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}}}}

‣ A coin is tossed three times.

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}

‣ The probability of getting,

1) Exactly 3 tails

2) At most 2 heads

3) At least 2 tails

4) Exactly 2 heads

5) Exactly 3 heads

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Using \: Formula :}}}}}}

\star \: \tt  P(E)= {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{  \dfrac{ Favourable \:  outcomes }{Total \:  outcomes}  }}}}}

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}

★ When three coins are tossed,

then the sample space = {HHH, HHT, THH, TTH, HTH, HTT, THT, TTT}

[here H denotes head and T denotes tail]

⇒Total number of outcomes \tt [ \: n(s) \: ] = 8

<u>1) Exactly 3 tails </u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHH} = 1

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly  \: 3 \:  tails)}  =  \red{ \dfrac{1}{8}}

<u>2) At most 2 heads</u>

[It means there can be two or one or no heads]

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHT, THH, HTH, TTH, HTT, THT, TTT} = 7

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(at \: most  \: 2 \:  heads)}  =  \green{ \dfrac{7}{8}}

<u>3) At least 2 tails </u>

[It means there can be two or more tails]

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {TTH, TTT, HTT, THT} = 4

• Total outcomes = 8

\longrightarrow   \sf Probability_{(at \: least \: 2 \:  tails)}  =  \dfrac{4}{8}

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(at \: least \: 2 \:  tails)}  =   \orange{\dfrac{1}{2}}

<u>4) Exactly 2 heads </u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HTH, THH, HHT } = 3

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly \: 2 \:  heads)}  =  \pink{ \dfrac{3}{8}}

<u>5) Exactly 3 heads</u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHH} = 1

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly \: 3 \:  heads)}  =  \purple{ \dfrac{1}{8}}

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. One of the x-interc
Marina CMI [18]
3x^2 + 6x - 10 = 0
3(x^2 + 2x) - 10 = 0
3[ (x + 1)^2 - 1 ] - 10 = 0
3(x+1)^2 - 13 = 0

so the vertex is at (-1,-13)
the roots will be same distance from x = -1
that is a distance 1.08 --1 = 2.08

so other root is approximately  -1 -2.08 = -3.08

the other intercept is at (-3.08,0)

n200080 [17]
They are 11 runs down. 17 - 6 = 11 They have 4 at bats to go. 3 runs each of 4 at bats = 12 runs. 12 new runs plus 6 you have scored will give you 18 runs, if you do not allow your opponent any more runs! If you allow your opponents to score , you will need to add those to your answer!

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

because if you unfold the left corner at the top it just becomes a regular rectangle, 15 by 10. 15 x 2 plus 10 x 2 = 54. and 54 x 1.19 is $64.26 therefor it is D.

I actually did the math this time i promise.
