The answer is false.

Exactly <em>1 </em>tail would mean the probability is 1/2.

When tossing 2 coins the probability of getting one tail is:

P(HT)+P(TH)

P(HT)=(1/2)^2=1/4 and P(TH)=(1/2)^2=1/4

P(HT or TH)=1/4+1/4=2/4=1/2

Answer:

51.9

8.9

78.5

8.8

Explanation:

You round up if the number to the right is 5 or greater.

So, apply this to the numbers and the 8 in A rounds up, going to a 51.9.

The 9 does not round up because of the one.

The 5 also does not round up because of the 2.

The 7 does round up because of the 6.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

- the probability she will win the dinner for two is 0.016

- the probability she will not win the dinner for two is 0.984

- Lisa's expected earnings is $0.57

- Money she effectively contributed to the hiking club is $11.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

fortune cookies; $1 per cookies

club sold 743

a) Lisa bought 12 cookies. What is the probability she will win the dinner for two?

P( she will win ) = Number of cookies bought / Total number of cookies

P( she will win ) = 12 / 743

P( she will win ) = 0.01615 ≈ 0.016

Therefore, the probability she will win the dinner for two is 0.016

P( she will not win ) = 1 - P( she will win )

P( she will not win ) = 1 - 0.016

P( she will not win ) = 0.984

Therefore, the probability she will not win the dinner for two is 0.984

b) Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)$

given that value of dinner = $35

P( she will win ) = 0.01615

Lisa's earning = $35 × 0.01615

Lisa's earning = $0.57

Therefore, Lisa's expected earnings is $0.57

- How much did she effectively contribute to the hiking club? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)$

Lisa's contribution = Money she paid for cookies - money from expected earnings

Lisa's contribution = ( 12 × $1 ) - $ 0.57

Lisa's contribution = $12 - $0.57

Lisa's contribution = $11.43

Therefore, Money she effectively contributed to the hiking club is $11.43
