Answer:

The sample space would be infinite

{HH, TTTHH, TTTTHH, TTTTTTTHH.......................}

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space would be infinite

{HH, TTTHH, TTTTHH, TTTTTTTHH.......................}.

This is because the number of times the coin would be flipped is not specified. So, you can keep flipping the coin forever.

If the coin is tossed four times then the sample space would be

{HHHH HTHH THHH HTHT

HHHT HTTH TTHH THTH

HHTT HHTH TTTH THHT

HTTT TTTT TTHT THTT}

HTHH and TTHH are the only two cases where two consecutive tosses will result in two heads

Probability that the coin will be tossed four times is 2/16 = 1/8

Tan^-1[-squareroot3/3] what is the degree
Reika [66]

Answer:

150˚ or 330˚

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easier to use the calculator, but you can use the unit circle too.

Calculator:

Plug in the equation without the negative, and you get 30˚ which is your reference angle. But since tangent is negative, the angle is in either the second quadrant, or the fourth (because tangent is negative in these quadrants). Now using your reference angle, you can find the answer.
