1/2*1/2*1/2=1/8

Therefore, the probability of tails being occurred 3 times is 1/8.

Hope this helps!

<span>For three tosses of the coin all the possible outcomes are:
.
H-H-H
T-H-H
H-T-H
H-H-T
T-H-T
T-T-H
H-T-T
T-T-T

These eight possible outcomes are the sample space.
To find the probability of tossing tails tree times look down the sample space list and find any outcome that has exactly two H's.
The possibilities are only T-T-T.
This means that one of the eight possible outcomes contain exactly three tails. Therefore,
the probability of throwing exactly two heads in three tosses of the coin is 1 out of 8,</span>

Swamp gas consists primarily of methane, a chemical compound consisting of a 1 : 4 ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms. If a sampl

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Number of carbon atoms present in the sample are 391.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms = 1 : 4

It is given that a sample of methane consists of 1564 hydrogen atoms.

Let the carbon atoms in the sample = x

So, we have the relation,

$\frac{Carbon}{Hydrogen}=\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{1564}$

i.e. $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{1564}$

i.e. $x=\frac{1564}{4}}$

i.e. x= 391

Hence, the number of carbon atoms present in the sample are 391.

A population of insects grows exponentially, as shown in the table. Suppose the increase in population continues at the same rat

Ivanshal [37]

We are told that a population of insects grows exponentially and we are given a table of data about insect population growth. We are asked to find population of insects at the end of week 11.

The initial insect population is 20 and at the end of 1st week population increases to 30.

Let us find growth percentage of insect population,

$\text{Growth percentage}=\frac{\text{Difference}}{Actual} \cdot100$
