The probability is 1/4
This is because:
Probability of first tails = 1/2
Probability of second tails = 1/2
Probability of first AND second tails = 1/2 * 1/2
= 1/4
This is also visible in the set of outcomes

Answer: 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fair coin is tossed twice in succession.

The set of equally likely outcomes is {HH, HT, TH, TT}.

i.e. The total number of outcomes = 4

In order to get exactly two tails , the total number of favorable outcomes = 1  (TT)

We know that , \text{Probability }=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

Then, the probability of getting exactly two tails = \dfrac{1}{4}=0.25

Hence, the required probability = 0.25

Determine if b is a linear combination of a1 a2, and a3. a1 = [ 1 -2 0 ], a2 = [ 0 1 3 ], a3 = [ 6 -6 18 ], b = [ 2 -2 6 ] Choos
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: Vector b is not a linear combination

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we put the vectors in terms of different variables, such as:

a1(1,-2,0)=(a,-2a,0);

a2(0,1,3)=(0,b,3b);

a3(6,-6,18)=(6c,-6c,18c);

To know that a vector is a linear combination we need to express it like a sum of other different vectors.

(2,-2,6)=(a,-2a,0)+(0,b,3b)+(6c,-6c,18c)

(2,-2,6)=(a+0+6c,-2a+b-6c,0+3b+18c)

We express this sum like a system of equations.

a+6c=2

-2a+b-6c=-2

3b+18c=6

We solve this system of equations and we can note that the system don't have a solution, so the vector b is not a linear combination of a1, a2, and a3.
