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

Answer:

We are observing the galactic center as it was 27,000 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The Galactic Center, or Galactic Centre, is the rotational center of the Milky Way. It is 8,122 ± 31 parsecs (26,490 ± 100 ly) away from Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest. It coincides with the compact radio source Sagittarius A*

Suppose that receiving stations​ X, Y, and Z are located on a coordinate plane at the points ​(6​,2​), ​(negative 2​,negative 4​
marin [14]

Answer:

  (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is useful here. Points X and Y have coordinate differences of ...

  X -Y = (6, 2) -(-2, -4) = (6+2, 2+4) = (8, 6)

Then the distance between X and Y is ...

  d = √(8² +6²) = √100 = 10

The point 5 units from X and from Y is the midpoint of XY:

  E = (X +Y)/2 = ((6, 2) +(-2, -4))/2 = (4, -2)/2 = (2, -1)

The epicenter is (2, -1).

_____

The graph shows circles of radius 5 around X and Y, and a circle of radius 13 around Z. The circles intersect at the point (2, -1), the epicenter.
