Mathematics

There are 8 possible outcomes when you throw a coin three times:

HHH,\ HHT,\ HTH,\ HTT,\ THH,\ THT,\ TTH,\ TTT

Out of these combination, the ones with exactly two heads are

HHT,\ HTH,\ THH

So, 3 combinations out of 8 have exactly two heads. This means that the probability of having two heads with three coin throws is 3/8

Answer:  \bold{\dfrac{3}{8}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1: Numerator

You are looking for an outcome of getting exactly two heads out of a total of three tosses.  This can be written as: ₃C₂

The formula for a combination problem is: \dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

  • n is the total number of tosses
  • r is the total number of successes (in this case, heads)

_3C_2=\dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}=\dfrac{3\times2\times1}{2\times1\times 1}=3

There are 3 successes (heads)

Step 2: Denominator

You are looking for the total possible combinations of heads and tails for three tosses (2³)

1st toss and 2nd toss and 3rd toss

     2       x          2         x         2       =  8 total possible outcomes

butalik [34]

Answer: 144 inches.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must remember the formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, which is shown below:

P=2l+2w

Where l is the lenght and w is the width.

2. You know the perimeter and the width, then you can solve for the length, as following:

P-2w=2l\\l=\frac{P-2w}{2}\\l=\frac{(528in)-(2*120in))}{2}\\l=144in

A temperature record in Antarctica was -120.the temperature recorded in the Sahara desert was 129.how many degrees warmer is 129
allochka39001 [22]

129 is 249 degrees warmer than -120 because -120+120=0 and then you add 129 to 0 which is 129. that means you add 120 and 129 to get 249
