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

How do you find the square root of 2809
Hunter-Best [27]
If this is greater than the first part of the number called by the spectator (i.e., ignoring the last two digits), then the last digit of your answer is the lower of the two possible values. Otherwise the last digit is the higher value. For example if the number called is 2809, the square root could be either 53 or 57.

Answer:

r = 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find r we have to square both sides of the equation

0.1 =  \sqrt{r} \\  {0.1}^{2}  =  { \sqrt{r} }^{2}

The *square root* sign cancels out the *squared* sign therefore:

{0.1}^{2}  = r \\ 0.01 = r

"Find the sum of the first 50 term in this sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, ...". How do i do this without writing them all out, and how d
melisa1 [442]
First term ,a=4 , common difference =4-7=-3, n =50
sum of first 50terms= (50/2)[2×4+(50-1)(-3)]
=25×[8+49]×-3
=25×57×-3
=25× -171
= -42925
derivation of the formula for the sum of n terms
Progression, S
S=a1+a2+a3+a4+...+an

S=a1+(a1+d)+(a1+2d)+(a1+3d)+...+[a1+(n−1)d]   →   Equation (1)

S=an+an−1+an−2+an−3+...+a1

S=an+(an−d)+(an−2d)+(an−3d)+...+[an−(n−1)d]   →   Equation (2)

Add Equations (1) and (2)
2S=(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+...+(a1+an)

2S=n(a1+an)
S=n/2(a1+an)

Substitute an = a1 + (n - 1)d to the above equation, we have
S=n/2{a1+[a1+(n−1)d]}
S=n/2[2a1+(n−1)d]

What is 2 1/2 /1/3 ?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

My interpretation of your math expression is "2  1/2 divided by 1/3."

I prefer to write this as:

 5        1

----- ÷ -----

 2         3

which is equivalent to:

 5        3

----- * ----- = 15/2

 2        1
