A coin is tossed 4 times. Let E1 be the event "the first toss shows heads" and E2 the event "the second toss shows heads" and so

on. That is, Ei is the event that the "i"th toss shows up heads.
A. Are the events e e and f f independent?
B. Find the probability of showing heads on both toss.

Answer:

The events are independent.

The probability of showing heads on both toss is equal to 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for this experiment consists of 2⁴= 16 sample points, as each toss can result in two outcomes we assume that the events are equally likely.

Two events are independent in the sample space if the probability of one event occurs, is not affected by whether the other event has or has not occurred.

In general the k events are defined to be mutually independent if and only if the probability of the intersection of  any 2,3,--------, k  equals the product of their respective probabilities.

P (A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

P (A∩B)   = 1/2. 1/2= 1/4

                                                                  Head          Tail

 P(E1)= 1/2  ----------          Coin 1               H,H              T,H

                                                                1/4                  1/4

  P(E2)= 1/2  ---------------  Coin 2             H, H               H,T

                                                                      1/4           1/4

So the events are independent.

The probability of showing heads on both toss is equal to 1/2

The sample space for this experiment consists of 2⁴= 16 sample points, out of which eight will have heads on both toss.

Or in other words ( 1/4* 1/4) = 2/4 = 1/2

Coefficient of 24x+32+4x+3
coldgirl [10]

Firstly, you can combine like terms, or terms that have the same variable and exponents.


24x and 4x both have the variable "x" so it can be combined to make 28x


A coefficient is basically just the number that's used to multiply the variable

In this case, the variable is "x" and the number that will be multiplied to x is 28.


<em>The coefficient is 28.</em>

PLEASE HELP Due At 8am
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

AEF and DFE are opposite interior angles, so they are equal to each other

you can set the equation to 2x + 60 = 3x + 20

subtract 2x from both sides: 60 = x + 20

subtract 20 from both sides: 40 = x

plug in the value of x to the equation for AEF: 2(40) + 60

you get AEF is 140
