Answer:

The probability of tail occurs =  \frac{1}{4} = 0.25

and

The probability of heads occurs = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let P be the tail as outcome in a toss.

Heads is three times as likely to come up as tails.

So, Probability of getting heads = 3P

The total probability is 1

So, P + 3P = 1

4P = 1

P = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25

We denoted P as the probability of getting tail in a toss.

So probability of getting heads = 1 -  \frac{1}{4} =  \frac{3}{4}

Therefore, the probability of tail occurs =  \frac{1}{4} = 0.25

and

The probability of heads occurs = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

Graph 2, Option 4 would be your answer because:
If you substitute 1 into the equation (x), you would get about 212
If you substitute 2, you would get approximately 225
If you substitute 10, you would get approximately 364.
Looking at the graph, your answer would be going up and to the right, the population is getting bigger while the years are increasing as well.
If we substitute 15 into x in the equation, we would get approximately 492.

Okay so first we want to find out how many cans one person uses a year. To find this we divide 16,801 by 53 and we get 317 cans a year. Using this we can find how many cans 1,694,000 people use a year by multiplying the people by 317. You get 536,998,000 cans a year, which is your answer.
