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

A skydiver falls 144 feet in 3 seconds. How far does the skydiver fall per second?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
If a skydiver falls 144 feet in 3 seconds in you need to find the time per second that they’re falling, you would simply have to get the time per one second. You have to get the 3 to one, so you would divide by 3 on both sides, getting 48 feet per second. (assuming they fell at the same rate all 3 seconds)
