C is the answer for the pic
Answer:
2/7
then 2/14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P(H)=p be the probability of one head. In many scenarios, this probability is assumed to be p=12 for an unbiased coin. In this instance, P(H)=3P(T) so that p=3(1−p)⟹4p=3 or p=34.
You are interested in the event that out of three coin tosses, at least 2 of them are Heads, or equivalently, at most one of them is tails. So you are interested in finding the likelihood of zero tails, or one tails.
The probability of zero tails would be the case where you only received heads. Since each coin toss is independent, you can multiply these three tosses together: P(H)P(H)P(H)=p3 or in your case, (34)3=2764.
Now we must consider the case where one of your coin flips is a tails. Since you have three flips, you have three independent opportunities for tails. The likelihood of two heads and one tails is 3(p2)(1−p). The reason for the 3 coefficient is the fact that there are three possible events which include two heads and one tails: HHT,HTH,THH. In your case (where the coin is 3 times more likely to have heads): 3(34)2(14)=2764.
Adding those events together you get p3+3(p2)(1−p)=5464. Note that the 3 coefficient
Answer:
-<em><u>147 - 98i</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 × -8) + (2i × -8) + (3 × -41) + (2i × -41)
-24 - 16i - 123 - 82i
= -147 - 98i
Answer:
79 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say your age is x.
The problem says "500 reduced by 4 times my age is 184", so we convert this to math:
- "4 times my age" ⇒ 4 * x = 4x
- "500 reduced by" ⇒ 500 - (something)
- "500 reduced by 4 times my age" ⇒ 500 - 4x
- "is 184" ⇒ = 184
- "500 reduced by 4 times my age is 184" ⇒ 500 - 4x = 184
Now, we simply solve for x:
500 - 4x = 184
4x = 500 - 184 = 316
x = 79
Thus, you are 79 years old.
Hope this helps!
