Answer:

1) 0.375

2) 0.375

3) 0.5

4) 0.5

5) 0.875

6) 0.5                          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample space, S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}.

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

1. The probability of getting exactly one tail

P(Exactly one tail)

Favorable outcomes ={HHT, HTH, THH}

\text{P(Exactly one tail)} = \dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375

2. The probability of getting exactly two tails

P(Exactly two tail)

Favorable outcomes ={ HTT,THT, TTH}

\text{P(Exactly two tail)} = \dfrac{3}{8} = 0.375

3. The probability of getting a head on the first toss

P(head on the first toss)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT}

\text{P(head on the first toss)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

4. The probability of getting a tail on the last toss

P(tail on the last toss)

Favorable outcomes ={HHT,HTT,THT,TTT}

\text{P(tail on the last toss)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

5. The probability of getting at least one head

P(at least one head)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH}

\text{P(at least one head)} = \dfrac{7}{8} = 0.875

6. The probability of getting at least two heads

P(Exactly one tail)

Favorable outcomes ={HHH, HHT, HTH,THH}

\text{P(Exactly one tail)} = \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5

If f(x) = 3x²+2 and g(x)=x2-9, find (f- g)(x).
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on whether or not the g(x) is x^2 or 2x, I have both ways.

If g(x) is x^2 - 9...

--> (3x^2 + 2) - (x^2 - 9) = 2x^2 + 11

If g(x) is 2x...

--> (3x^2 + 2) - (2x - 9) = 3x^2 - 2x + 11

Hope this helps!
