What is the probability of tossing a standard coin and having it land on head three times in a row?

Mathematics

sergejj [24]3 years ago

Answer:

the probability of a coin landing on heads 3 times in a row is 1/8 or 0.125 or 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

the chance of landing heads once is 1/2, for it to be 2 times in a row its 1/4, and 3 times in a row its 1/8, basically every time you want to do it in a row you multiply 1/2, so for example for this question you multiply 1/2 by however times you want the coin to land on heads in a row, (1/2) X(1/2)X(1/2)

If x+y=9, and 8(x+3y)= 120, what is the value of x-y
Triss [41]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:

{x + y =9

{8x + 24y = 120

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation.

{x + y = 9

{x + 3y = 15

Subtract the two equations: x + y - (x +3y) = 9 - 15

Remove paranthesis: x + y - x - 3y = 9 - 15

Cancel the unknown variables: y - 3y = 9 - 15

Combine like terms: -2y=9 - 15

Calculate the sum or difference: -2y = -6

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation: y =3

Substitute one unknown quantity into the elimination: x + 3 = 9

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: x = 9 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: x = 6

Write the solution set of equations: {x = 6

                                                           {y = 3

Substitute: 6 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: 3

El perímetro de un rectángulo es 58 y su base excede en 10 a su ancho, ¿Cuánto mide la base? AYUDAAAA
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The base is 19.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is, "The perimeter of a rectangle is 58 and its base exceeds its width by 10, how long is the base?"

Perimeter = 58

Base, l = 10+b

The perimeter of a rectangle is :

P = 2(l+b)

58 = 2(10+b+b)

29 = (10+2b)

29-10 = 2b

19 = 2b

b = 9.5

Base, l = 10 + 9.5

= 19.5

Hence, the base is 19.5.
