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.

What expression is equivalent to -3+2/3y-4-1/3y

Neko [114]

Answer:

The simplified form of the given expression is $-7 + (\frac{1}{3})y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

$-3 + (\frac{2}{3}) y - 4 - (\frac{1}{3})y$

Now to simplify the given expression, perform operations on LIKE TERMS:

We get:

$-3 + (\frac{2}{3}) y - 4 - (\frac{1}{3})y =( -3 - 4) + [(\frac{2}{3}) y- (\frac{1}{3})y]\\= - 7 + [(\frac{2}{3}) -(\frac{1}{3})]y = -7 + [\frac{2-1}{3}]y\\ = -7 + (\frac{1}{3})y\\ \implies -3 + (\frac{2}{3}) y - 4 - (\frac{1}{3})y = -7 + (\frac{1}{3})y$

Hence the simplified form of the given expression is $-7 + (\frac{1}{3})y$

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 48 cm and the given area. Its length is 6 more than twice its width. Write and solve a sy

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 18 cm

The width of the rectangle is 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=48\ cm$

$48=2(x+y)$ ------> equation A

$x=2y+6$ ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

48=2(2y+6+y)

48=2(3y+6)

48=6y+12

6y=48-12

y=36/6=6 cm

Find the value of x

x=2(6)+6=18 cm

The area of the rectangle is

A=xy

A=18*6

A=108 cm^2
