An experiment is broken up into two parts. In the first part of the experiment a penny is tossed in the air. If the coin lands o

n heads, then the coin is flipped a second time. If the coin lands on tails, then a six-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of getting exactly one tail?

There are two chances of getting one tails: if the first toss is heads and the second toss is tails OR if the first toss is tails.
The probability of the first toss to be head AND the second toss to be tails is 1/2 × 1/2, which equals 1/4.
The probability of getting a tails on the first toss is 1/2.

When dealing with probabilities, AND means multiply and OR means add. Therefore, this problem is: (heads AND tails) OR (tails). The probability of a coin landing on heads is 1/2 and the probability of a coin landing on tails is 1/2. Therefore, the equation is (1/2 × 1/2) + (1/2), which is 3/4.

Answer:

39.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded part= Area of the Square - Area of the Triangle

Area of the Triangle= b*h/2= 2*3/2= 3

Area of the Square= side²= (6.5)²= 42.25

Area of the shaded part= 42.25 - 3= 39.25

Find the area of a parallelogram if a base and corresponding altitude have the indicated lengths.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 108 inches² <em>OR</em> 0.75 foot²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the properties of the parallelogram

- Each two opposite bases are are parallel

- Each two opposite bases are equal in length

- Each two opposite angles are equal in measure

- Each two adjacent angles are supplementary (their sum = 180°)

- Its two diagonals bisect each other

- Each base has an altitude (height) drawn from the opposite

 base to it

* Look to the attached figure to more understand

- The area of the parallelogram is the product of the length of one

 of its base and the corresponding altitude (height)

∵ Area = B1 × H1 ⇒ OR ⇒ Area = B2 × H2

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 feet

∵ H1 = 6 inches

- The base and the height have different units, so we must

 change the unit of one of them to the other

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 feet

∴ B1 = 1.5 × 12 = 18 inches

∴ A = 18 × 6 = 108 inches²

* The area of the parallelogram is 108 inches²

OR

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 feet

∵ H1 = 6 inches

∴ H1 = 6 ÷ 12 = 1/2 = 0.5 foot

∴ A = 1.5 × 0.5 = 0.75 foot²

* The area of the parallelogram is 0.75 foot²
