Answer:

a) P = 0.125

b) It is not necessarily true

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If the coin was fair, the probability of obtaining head would be 0.5, and each launch of the coin would be an independent event.

Remember that if two events A and B are independent, then:

P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B)

Therefore, the probability that Caitlin would get heads on all three flips is:

P(A∩A∩A) = P(A)P(A)P(A) = 0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125

b) It is not necessarily true, because there exist a probability associated to this event and it means that this situation can occur although the coin was fair.

Which of the following equations represents a nonlinear function?

Ainat [17]

Y=square root of x

All the others would be a straight line with an unchanging slope (meaning they're linear). Y=rootx is not linear.
I hope this Helps!

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Answer:

3(x^3)y -6x(y^2) +9
3

Step-by-step explanation:

The above-listed answer choices are the only ones that are self-consistent.

The quotient choices all have a leading coefficient of 3, and the result of dividing by <some number> is a leading coefficient of 1. Obviously, the <some number> must be 3 (first choice on the second menu).

Looking only at the constant term, we see that after division by 3, we have 3. So the original quotient constant term must be 3×3 = 9 (first choice on the first menu). Note that we have chosen the correct answer simply by looking at coefficients, not even bothering with actual division of variables.

mash [69]

Answer:

2 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

9 5/12 - 6 7/12

We will need to borrow from the 9

8 12/12 + 5/12 - 6 7/12

8 17/12 - 6 7/12

(8-6) + (17/12 -7/12)

2 10/12

This simplifies. Divide the top and bottom of the fraction by 2
