Based on the orbital period of the planet in earth years, and the distance it is rotating, the mass of the star that the planet is orbiting is 3 solar masses.

<h3>What is a solar mass?</h3>

Because the sun is so heavy, it needed to have a special unit that could adequately reflect this mass.

Solar masses was the term that scientists came up with. In terms of the Earth's mass, a single solar mass means that the body is 333,000 times the mass of the Earth.

When given the orbital period of a planet, and the distance it is orbiting around a sun, you can find the solar mass by the formula:

= Distance planet is rotating³ - Orbital period²

Solving gives:

= 1.2³ / 0.76²

= 2.99

= 3 solar masses

In conclusion the mass of the star is 3 solar masses

Consider a fair coin which when tossed results in either heads (H) or tails (T). If the coin is tossed TWO times 1. List all pos
Volgvan

Answer:

Sample space = {(T,T), (T,H), (HT), (HH)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a fair coin which when tossed one times either gives heads(H) or tails(T).

Now, the same coin is tossed two times.

1) All the possible outcomes

Tails followed by tails

Rails followed by heads

Heads followed by a tail

Heads followed by heads

2) Sample space

{(T,T), (T,H), (HT), (HH)}

3) Formula:

Probability = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Favourable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

Using the above formula, we can compute the following probabilities.

Probability((T,T)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability((T,H)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability((H,T)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability((H, H)) =\frac{1}{4}

Probability(Atleast one tails) = \frac{3}{4}

Probability(Atleast one heads) = \frac{3}{4}

Probability(Exactly one tails) = \frac{2}{4}

Probability(Exactly one heads) = \frac{2}{4}

Can y’all help me with the 1st and 2nd one plz
kherson [118]

1. -1/5>-3/5 because we have like denominators we compare the inputs by the numerators.

2. 3/4 > 5/8 the least common denominator is: 8

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

                                   3/4 = 6/8    5/8 = 5/8

Comparing the numerators of the equivalent fractions we have:

                                   6/8 > 5/8
