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

The scale factor of dilation from ABC to A^{1} B^{1} C^{1} is 0.333.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we plot the coordinates of both triangles.

The coordinates of the triangle A^{1} B^{1} C^{1} are as follows;

A^{1} = (2, 3), B^{1} = (2, 1), and C^{1} = (3, 1).

The coordinates of triangle ABC are;

A = (4, 9), B = (4, 3), and C = (7, 3).

Step 2;

Next, we need to find the distances between at least two coordinates for both triangles.

The distances between vertical lines are found by calculating the difference in y values while for horizontal lines, the distances are found by calculating the difference between the x values.

The distance of A^{1} B^{1} = 3-1=2, the distance of B^{1} C^{1} = 3-2=1.

The distance of AB =9-3=6, the distance of BC = 7-4=3.

Step 3;

To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.

In this case, it is the length of the AB.

So The scale factor for AB = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} = 0.333.

The scale factor for BC = \frac{1}{3} = 0.333.

Nina [5.8K]
I think she can add 5p more of orange which is 9p and 6p more water which is 8p. I'm pretty sure this works because 9 is the next closest multiple of 3 and 8 is one number less than that. Hope this helps!
