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

UNO [17]
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u>   then the answer would be 17.24 hours.
