A coin is tossed 3 times. what is the probability of obtaning two heads out of the 3 tosses

1 answer:

3 0

I answered a similar problem yesterday.
In three coin tosses there are 8 possible outcomes:
H H H
H H T
H T H
T H H
T T H
T H T
H T T
T T T

Of those results, four out of the eight have at least 2 tails and so the probability is (4/8) or50%

If you need the probability of getting EXACTLY 2 tails then the probability is (3/8) or .375

Vadim26 [7]

If we have a triangle with sides a,b,c then

b-a < c < b+a

describes the restriction of the length of side c, given sides a and b. This is due to the triangle inequality theorem.

a = 6

b = 9

b-a < c < b+a

9-6 < c < 9+6

3 < c < 15

<h3>Answer: The third side is between 3 cm and 15 cm. The third side cannot equal 3 cm, and it also cannot equal 15 cm. </h3>

Suppose that a rectangle has a perimeter of 17 meters. Express the area A(x) of the rectangle in terms of the length x of one of

Simora [160]

<span>Let the length of one side of the rectangle be x. Then the opposite side of the rectangle also has a length of x. The sum of the other two sides must be 17 - 2x. So the length of one of these sides is 8.5 - x. The length of two sides of the rectangle are x and 8.5 - x. To find the area, we need to multiply these two values. A(x) = (x) (8.5 - x) = 8.5x - x^2</span>
