Lita has a coin with heads on one side and tails on the other side. She is going to flip it in the air three times. What is the

probability of the coin landing tails up on the first flip and heads up twice on the last two flips? P(Tails, then heads, then heads) Write as a simplified fraction.

Answer:

The probability is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating that if a coin is flipped three times, we have the outcome in the question; THH

Now before we go on to calculate this probability, we need to understand some technicalities. Flipping a coin can only result into two outcomes as there are only two sides of a coin. These are the head and the tail. What this means is that if a coin is flipped, we should only expect landing on the head and on the tail.

Now these opposite sides have equal probability. This means the probability of landing on the head = probability of landing on the tail. These probabilities are equal as they are the only two options we have. Hence, the probabilities are 1/2 each

Hence, P(H) = P(T) = 1/2

Now, we proceed to calculating the probability of HTT

this mathematically means P(H) * P(T) * P(T) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

What is the length of line segment s a? 1.89 ft 2.43 ft 3 ft 7 ft
Slav-nsk [51]

The ratio of the sides will be constant. Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.

The missing diagram is given below.

<h3>What is the triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three angles. The angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees.

The triangles ΔABC and ΔSBT are the similar triangles.

Then the ratio of the sides will be constant.

BS / SA = BT / TC

10 / SA = 9 / 2.7

      SA = 3

Then the value of the length of line segment SA will be 3 ft.

More about the triangle link is given below.

Determine the value of sin 52º 47' (sine of 52 degrees, and 47 minutes). In this case, minutes are 1/60 of a degree.
jeka94

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

change minutes to degrees

60minutes=1degree

47 mutes=?

47/60=0.78333333°

Add to 52°

52° + 0.78333333°

52.78333333°

so sin 52.7833 =0.7963540136

Solve the math problem please
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

B, x≥2

Step-by-step explanation:

54 - 10x ≤ 20 + 7x - subtract 20

34 - 10x ≤ 7x - add 10x to 7x

34 ≤ 17x - divide 34 by 7

2 ≤ x - flip the equation - x ≥ 2

Hope this is helpful!
