Let W be a random variable giving the number of heads minus the number of tails in three tosses of a coin. List the elements of

the sample space S for the three tosses of the coin and to each sample point assign a value w of W.

Answer:

HHH, W = 3-0 = 3

HHT, W= 2-1=1

HTH, W= 2-1=1

THH, W=2-1 =1

HTT, W= 1-2=-1

THT, W= 1-2=-1

TTH, W=1-2=-1

TTT, W=0-3 = -3

So then the sample space for W is:

$S= [-3,-1,1,3]$

Just 4 possible values from 8 possible combinations for the 3 random tosses

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define W as the random variable who represent the number of heads minus the number of tails in three tosses of a coin.

W= # heads- # coins

Since we toss a coin 3 times we have 2*2*2= 8 possible results. We can list the results and the corresponding values for W like this:

HHH, W = 3-0 = 3

HHT, W= 2-1=1

HTH, W= 2-1=1

THH, W=2-1 =1

HTT, W= 1-2=-1

THT, W= 1-2=-1

TTH, W=1-2=-1

TTT, W=0-3 = -3

So then the sample space for W is:

$S= [-3,-1,1,3]$

Just 4 possible values from 8 possible combinations for the 3 random tosses

The pyrotechnic team for Fist Bump’s tour want to know how high the arena is to 2 decimal places. The arena is 61.3786 metres hi

Aloiza [94]

When you find any value to x amount of decimal places, you need to go to the term AFTER that to determine the correct value. So, for this, take 61.378 metres. From here, look if the last number is 4 or less. If the number is 4 or less, take the leftmost number off, and you will have your answer (if we had 61.373, the correct answer would be 61.37). If the number is 5 or more, take the leftmost number off, and add 1 to the new leftmost number. Since the last number is 8, the correct answer here is 61.38 metres high. If adding 1 makes the number 10, keep the 0 at the end. So, if you had 61.399, you would make it 61.40

The area of a circle is 28.26 square meters. What is the circle's diameter?

ikadub [295]

Answer: area for circle is πr² so πr² =28.26 and we can sub 3.14 as pi

3.14*r²=28.26 we can divide by 3.14 to get r² on it's own

r²=28.26/3.14

then we root both sides to get r on it's own

28.26/3.14=9 √9=3

and the diameter is double the radius 3*2=6 so the diameter is 6

Carla is arranging square patches of grass on her rectangular lawn her lawn is 10 yards wide and 3 and 1/2 yards long how many s

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

I don't know if this is correct but wouldn't it be 560?

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 10 on one side, you divide 10 by 1/4 to get 40. So you need 40 blocks to fill one side, and 3 1/2 on the other only needs 14. 14*40=560.

Maggie is standing on a platform that is 8 feet above the ground. She throws a ball in the air that hits the ground after 2 seco

The equation that offers the best approximation to this result is: $h = -16\cdot t^{2}+28\cdot t + 8$ . (Choice D)

<h3>How to find the free fall formula for a given scenario</h3>

An object experiments a free fall when it is solely accelerated by gravity on the assumption of an <em>uniform</em> acceleration. The formula is described below:

$h =h_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$h_{o}$ - Initial height, in feet.
$v_{o}$ - Initial speed, in feet per second.
$t$ - Time, in seconds.
$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in feet per square second.

If we know that $t = 2\,s$ , $h_{o} = 8\,ft$ , $h = 0\,ft$ , $g = -32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}$ , then the height formula is:

$0 = 8 +2\cdot v_{o} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot (32.174)\cdot (2)^{2}$

$0 = -56.348+2\cdot v_{o}$

$v_{o} = 28.174\,\frac{ft}{s}$

The equation that offers the best approximation to this result is: $h = -16\cdot t^{2}+28\cdot t + 8$ . (Choice D)

What is the area of this figure???

pshichka [43]

Answer:

24 mm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x 4 x 1/2 = area of the triangle

4 x 3 = area of the rectangular top left

1 x 6 = area of the bottom rectangle

3 x 4 = 12 x 1/2 = 6

4 x 3 = 12

6 x 1 = 6

6 + 12 + 6 =24
