Answer: 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a fair coin, then generally, P(Head) = P(Tail) = ½

And since we've been asked to find the probability that the number of heads in the first two tosses be equal to the number of heads in the second two tosses, tossing a fair coin four times, the possible outcomes of having equal number of heads in first two tosses and second two tosses becomes:

[HHHH] or [HTHT] or [THTH] or [TTTT] or [HTTH] or [THHT]

=[½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½] + [½*½×½*½]

=1/16 * 6

=6/16

=3/8.

How can I solve this question

To find the volume of the prism, you need to know the length, height, and width. 
since the length is 4 blocks wide, you can multiply 4 by the length of a single block. 4*1/2 = 4/2. do this for the height and width
Length 4/2
height 7/2
width 3/2
you would then multiply all of them together.
to multiply fractions, just multiply the numerators together and the numerators together

4/2*7/2*3/2 = 84/8
both 84 and 8 are divisible by 4 so you could simplify the fraction to 21/2
the answer is C

Transversal t cuts parallel lines a and bas shown in the diagram. Which equation is necessarily true?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given diagram, we want to know the equation that is true

Option A is wrong as both are on a straight line and in fact should add up to equal 180 and not be equal to each other

Option B is not correct as both are supplementary and does not equal each other

Option C is not correct, both are corresponding to each other and should not add up to 90

Option D is correct

Both angles are supplementary as they are exterior angles that add up to 180
