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.

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

983.625
9 = hundreds
8 = tens
3 = ones
6 = tenths
2 = hundredths
5 = thousandths
You want to round to the nearest hundredths
Look at the number on the right, if it's bigger than 5, round up, if it's 4 or lower, round down.
In this case, the number to the right is a 5, so you round the 2 (hundredths) up one so:

If f(x)= 4-2x and g(x)=6x which expression is equivalent to (g-f)(3)
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(g-f)(3) = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

g(3)=6 * (3) = 18

f(3)= 4-2(3) = 4 - 6 = -2

So

(g-f)(3) = 18 - (-2) = 20

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Your movie marathon will last 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Each movie lasts \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 hours. How much do 4 movies last?

So

1 movie - 1.5 hours

4 movies - x hours

x = 4*1.5 = 6

Your movie marathon will last 6 hours.
