If there are n coins, then the smallest (minimum) amount of coins we need to flip is 1. The reason why is because the best case scenario would be flipping all heads except the last coin which is tails. This scenario is rare if n is large, but still possible.

kozerog [31]

INFORMATION:

We know that:

- stack of mail consists of 8 bills, 10 letters, and 6 advertisements.

- One piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside. Then a second piece of mail is drawn.

And we must find P (both are letters)

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To find the probability, we need to know that we have two events. First, when one piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside and, second, when a second piece of mail is drawn.

These two events are dependent. If A and B are dependent events, P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B after A) where P(B after A) is the probability that B occurs after A has occurred.

So, first

- Probability of A (the first piece is letter)

P(A)=\frac{favorable\text{ }cases}{total\text{ cases}}=\frac{10}{24}

- Probability of B after A

Since A already occurred and one piece of the mail was drawn (a letter), now in total we would have 9 letter and 23 total pieces

P(B\text{ after }A)=\frac{9}{23}

Finally, replacing in the initial formula

P(A\text{ and }B)=\frac{10}{24}\cdot\frac{9}{23}=\frac{90}{552}=0.1630

Finally, the probability would be 0.1630

ANSWER:

P (both are letters) = 0.1630

How do you find the additive inverse of an inte
IRISSAK [1]
I couldn't understand your question, but I can give you the definition of an additive inverse. Additive Inverse is an opposite of a sign like +\- or -/+ For division the additive inverse is multiplication. Your question said inte so i assumed that means integer, so the additive inverse of an integer is the negative and the positive signs like -1/1 or 1/-1 :)
