The probability of getting 3 heads in 3 tosses of a fair coin is:
0.5\times0.5\times0.5=0.125
The probability of selecting a fair coin and getting 3 heads in 3 tosses is:
0.99\times0.125=0.12375

The probability of selecting a double-headed coin and getting 3 heads in 3 tosses is:
0.01\times1=0.01
The probability of selecting a coin and getting 3 heads in 3 tosses is:
0.12375 + 0.01 = 0.13375
The probability that a double-headed coin was picked is:
0.01/0.13375 = 0.0748

The answer is 0.0748 or 7.48%

1 in 100, because you have 99% fair coins and just 1% double-headed one, then 99 + 1 is obviously 100, so you have a 1 in 100 chance

your credit score is based on various aspects of your financial situation which of the following is not a factor that contribute
Amanda [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit Score is a numerical expression which analyzes a person's credit level by looking at this financial conditions. Will he/she be worthy of loan or not.

payment history comprises 35% of a person's credit score. This is a huge factor. If you consistently make your payments on time, your credit score increases.

length of credit history tells how secure you will be to lenders. Usually 7 years+ is a great length of credit history. This pretty much affects credit score.

marital status doesn't affect credit score. Lenders assess a person based on their financial condition and past activity, NOT whether or not he/she is married or not. That's personal agenda.

debt ratio is the ratio of total debt to total assets. If this is high, it means a person owes money to banks/individuals and is more likely to be not given credit. It affects credit score highly.

THus, the correct answer is C

Who’s right? And why?
kvasek [131]

Answer: Raymond is correct

The DJ charges $75 an hour.

=================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost

The DJ does a 3-hour event for $275. This means one point is (x,y) = (3,275)

Another point is (5,425) because a 5-hour event costs $425.

Let's find the slope of the line through these two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (3,275) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (5,425)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{425 - 275}{5 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{150}{2}\\\\m = 75\\\\

The slope is 75, meaning that each time y goes up by 75, x goes up by 1.

Flipped around it means each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 75.

This means each time we add on an extra hour, the cost goes up by $75.

The DJ charges $75 an hour. Raymond is correct.

Simplify quantity x squared plus 6 x plus 8 end quantity over quantity x plus 2
Novosadov [1.4K]

Simplifying quantity x squared plus 6 x plus 8 end quantity over quantity x plus 2 we get x+4

Option d is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify quantity x squared plus 6 x plus 8 end quantity over quantity x plus 2.

Writing in mathematical form:

\frac{x^2+6x+8}{x+2}

Solving:

Factorizing the numerator:

\frac{x^2+6x+8}{x+2}\\=\frac{x^2+4x+2x+8}{x+2}\\=\frac{x(x+4)+2(x+4)}{x+2}\\=\frac{(x+2)(x+4)}{x+2}\\Cancelling\,\,x+2\,\,forom\,\,numerator\,\,and\,\,denominator:\\=x+4

So simplifying quantity x squared plus 6 x plus 8 end quantity over quantity x plus 2 we get x+4

Option d is correct.
