The odds in favor of the Cougars losing the toss in exactly two of three games is 3:8 option second is correct.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have:

A coin toss is used to determine which team will receive the ball at the beginning of a football game.

The Cougars always choose tails in the toss.

There will total of 8 cases and in 8 cases there will be three cases in which exactly two heads will come so,

3:8

The cases = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, HHT, HTH, HHT, HHH}

Thus, the odds in favor of the Cougars losing the toss in exactly two of three games is 3:8 option second is correct.

A suitcase measures 24 inches long and the dialogue is 30 inches long. How much material is needed to cover one side of the suit
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

432 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the suitcase is a rectangle. One length is 24 inches. The diagonal of the rectangle is 30 inches long. The diagonal is a hypotenuse of a right triangle. The length is a leg. We need to find the other leg.

We use the Pythagorean theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(24 in.)^2 + b^2 = (30 in.)^2

576 in.^2 + b^2 = 900 in.^2

b^2 = 324 in.^2

b = sqrt(324 in^2)

b = 18 in

area of rectangle = length * width

A = 24 in. * 18 in.

A = 432 in.^2

A watering can dispenses water at the rate of 0.3 gallon per minute. The original volume of water in the can was 7 gallons. Whic
Rudiy27

Answer:

A. {(1, 6.7), (2, 6.4), (3, 6.1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The watering can dispenses water at a rate of 0.3 gallon per minute and the original volume of water in the can was 7 gallons.

Let y represent the volume of water in the can in gallons

Let x represent time in minutes

f(x) = y = 7 – 0.3(x)

When x = 1,

y = 7 – 0.3(1)

= 7 – 0.3

= 6.7

The pair will be (1, 6.7)

When x = 2,

y = 7 – 0.3(2)

= 7 – 0.6

= 6.4

The pair will be (2, 6.4)

When x = 3,

y = 7 – 0.3(3)

= 7 – 0.9

= 6.1

The pair will be (3, 6.1)

The set of ordered pairs shows the volume of water in the can in gallons (y) as a function of time in minutes (x) from the first minute after the can starts dispensing water is {(1, 6.7), (2, 6.4), (3, 6.1)}
