Answer:
a. 1/16 which is 6.2500%
b. 15/16 which is 93.7500%
Step-by-step explanation:
a. For each 'coin toss' the probability of getting tails is 1/2. If you toss the coin 4 times, the probability of getting tails all times is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16.
b. This one is a bit trickier.
When flipping four coins, you either could get all four heads or you could get at least one tail. Both events cannot happen at the same time. This means the two events are complementary.
Complementary events occur when there are only two outcomes, for example passing an exam or passing an exam. The complement means the exact opposite of an event.
Complementary probabilities always add to 1.
We saw in part (a) that the probability you get all tails is 6.25% or 1/16.
0.0625 was the probability of getting all four heads, so 0.9375 is the probability of anything else (getting one or more tails).
The decimal 0.9375 converts to the fraction 15/16.
The probability is 93.75%.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the slope of a ramp is expressed as
Slope = rise/run
The first ramp has the rise of 5 feet and run of 12 feet. This means that the slope of the first ramp is
Slope = 5/12 = 0.417
The second has the rise of 6 feet and the run of 3 feet. This means that the slope of the second ramp is
Slope = 6/3 = 2
The lower the run, the steeper the slope. This means that the second ramp is steeper than the first ramp.
This can be confirmed by calculating the angle formed by each ramp. To determine the angle formed by the ramp with the horizontal, we would apply we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.
Considering the first ramp,
Tan θ = 5/12 = 0.417
θ = Tan^-1(0.417)
θ = 22.6°
Considering the second ramp,
Tan θ = 6/3 = 2
θ = Tan^-1(2)
θ = 63.4°
The second ramp forms a greater angle. Thus, it is steeper.
Answer:
The correct answer would be B.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/4 + 2 1/8
= 13/4 + 17/8
= 43/8
= 5 3/8

10^2 = 100
14^2 = 196
196+100 = 296
sqrt(296) = 17.20
Answer is D. 17.20
