I think the answer is 1/16 because there is only one way that HTHT can fall out of 16 possible outcomes. That's what I think. Hope this helps!

Hello!

With every flip of a coin, the chances of flipping heads or tails are the same; 50% chance of either. 

For your question, you are asking what the probability of getting heads, tails, heads, and tails (in that order) is.
To find the probability, your formula will be 1/2 multiplied four times. 1/2 because of the 1 side that you are aiming to flip (heads on the first flip) divided by the amount of sides there are on a coin (2). 
Because you are flipping the coin four times, you will multiply the fraction four times. 
1/2x1/2x1/2x1/2 
Once this is multiplied, your answer is 1/16. 

The probability that a coin will be flipped 4 times and the result will be HTHT is 1/16. 

I hope this helps you!!

If tatianna works 3hrs a day on school days and make $123.75 a week what is her hourly rate?​
madreJ [45]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Her hourly rate is $8.25

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Tatianna works 3 hours a day on school days and makes a total of $123.75 in a week

<u>We know that:</u>

There are 5 school days in a week

<u>We are given that:</u>

She works for 3 hours a day each of those days

<u>Therefore:</u>

Total number of hours worked = hours worked daily * number of days

Total number of hours worked = 3 * 5 = 15 hours in a week

<u>The equation used to calculate Tatianna's earnings is:</u>

Amount she makes in a week = Total number of hours worked * hourly rate

<u>Now, we substitute with the givens to get the hourly rate as follows:</u>

Amount she makes in a week = Total number of hours worked * hourly rate

123.75 = 15 * hourly rate

Hourly rate = $8.25
