Which Law would you use to answer the following question: What is the chance of flipping a coin and getting four heads in a row?

(NOTE: H1 = heads on the first roll, H2 = heads on the second roll, etc.)
A) P(4 heads in a row) = P(H1) x P(H2) x P(H3) x P(H4)
B) P(4 heads in a row) = P(H1) + P(H2) + P(H3) + P(H4)

Answer:

Option A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability refers to the occurrence of some event.

To find: the probability of flipping a coin and getting four heads in a row.

Let H_1,H_2,H_3,H_4 denote heads on the first, second, third and fourth roll.

According to multiplicative law of probability,

The probability of occurrence of two or more events occurring together is equal to the product of the probability of occurrence of each of the events.

Using this rule, the probability of flipping a coin and getting four heads in a row is equal to

P=P(H_1)\times P(H_2)\times P(H_3)\times P(H_4)

Option A) is correct.

Timothy is filling fish bowls with pebbles at his fish store. He wants to have $\frac{1}{6}$ of a pound of pebbles in each fish
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Each fish bowl to have pebbles of weight equivalent to = \frac{1}{6}

Total pounds of pebbles that Timothy can use = 2\frac{1}{3}

To find:

The greatest value of Total number of fish bowls that Timothy can fill ?

Solution:

First of all, we need to convert mixed fraction into a fractional number and then we also need to see division of two fractions.

Formula:

1. \ p\dfrac{q}{r} = \dfrac{p\times r+q}{r}\\2. \ \dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}d}=\dfrac{a\times d}{b\times c}

Now, the given mixed fraction can be converted to fractional number as:

2\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2\times 3+1}{3} = \dfrac{7}{3}

Now, To find the total number of fish bowls that can be filled, we need to divide the total number of pounds with number of pounds of pebbles in each fish bowl.

So, the answer is:

\dfrac{\frac{7}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7\times 6}{3\times 1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{42}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{14}

<em>14</em> number of fish bowls can be filled.

Can anyone solve 84=4(1 - 4g) step by step?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

g= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    84-(4*(1-4*g))=0

 84 -  4 • (1 - 4g)  = 0

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  16g + 80  =   16 • (g + 5)

16 • (g + 5)  = 0

4.1      Solve :    16   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

4.2      Solve  :    g+5 = 0  

Subtract  5  from both sides of the equation :  

                     g = -5

I hope it helps you and if you want you can give me a brainly crown only if you want
