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.

A train is traveling at a constant speed and goes 17 kilometers in 8 minutes. How far will the train travel in 60 minutes.
allsm [11]

Answer:

Distance B = 1275 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two distances and time be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Distance A = 17 kilometers.

Time A = 8 minutes.

Distance B =?

Time B = 60 minutes.

First of all, we would find the constant speed;

Speed = distance/time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = 17/8

Speed = 2.125 km/m

Now, to find the distance B;

Distance B = speed * time

Distance B = 2.125 * 60

<em>Distance B = 1275 km</em>

The angle of elevation from the top of a building to the top of another is 45°.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

402m

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a triangle and use trig to solve it:

tan(45) = y/402

y = 402*tan(45)

substitute: tan(45) = 1

y = 402 * 1

y = 402m
