Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


I think you're making an incorrect assumption here. X and Y are two events based on two separate, independent series of coin tosses, from coins A and B, respectively. Here's an example:

Coin one:

T-T-T-T-H-H

Coin two:

H-H-H-T-T-T

<u><em>Event X (two heads in a row from coin A) occurred after event Y (three heads in a row from coin B). In the language of the question, X=6 and Y = 3. Since X>Y is a possible event in the space, P{X>Y} must be greater than zero.</em></u>

<em>answer:</em>

The problem can be broken down by the outcome of the first toss of the two coins.

Bearing arithmetic typos, the answer should be <u><em>43/58.</em></u>

<u><em>thanx</em></u>

<u><em>hope it helps youuu</em></u>

Find the volume of the sphere shown to the right. Give an answer in terms of pi and rounded to the nearest cubic unit.
Vladimir [108]
The correct answers are:
Exact volume = V = \frac{32}{3} \pi in^3
Approximate volume = V = 33.51 in^3 

Explanation:

The volume of the sphere is: V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Since r = 2 in

Hence
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2)^3 \\ V =  \frac{32}{3} \pi in^3 (exact)
V = 33.51 in^3 (approximate)
