A coin is tossed three times. what is the probability of getting two heads and one tail?

2 answers:

7 0

If the order doesn't matter, then the probability is 37.5%
If it has to be head head tail, then the probability is 12.5%

If the order doesn't matter, the possible outcomes that have two heads and one tail are HHT, HTH, and THH. Since these all have a probability of 12.5% of occuring, the probability of any of them occuring is 37.5%

A pet toy manufacturer is designing a plastic ball for dogs that will float in water. In order for the ball to float it must hav

algol13

Answer:

3.576 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

radius of ball, r=?

Given:

Density, p = 0.600g/mL

mass, m= 115g

finding volume, v of ball by using formula p=m/v

v= m/p

= 115/0.600

=191.666 mL^3

=191.666 cm^3

Now using formula v= (4/3)πr^3 to find radius, r of the ball

r^3= 3v/4π

= 3(191.666)/4π

=45.75 cm

r =3.5767 cm !

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial x^20 - x - 20

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

$(x-5)(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the equation, break it into two binomials which multiply to make the equation. To write these binomials (x+a)(x+b), find factors which multiply to -20 and add to -1 for a and b.

20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

-5+4 = -1

$x^2-x-20 = (x-5)(x+4)$
