The probability of tossing two tails in a row is 1/2 possibility tossing tails the first time, then another 1/2 possibility of tossing tails again, so from the start, we would multiply 1/2 and 1/2 to get a 1/4 possibility of tossing two tails in a row.

Hope this helps and have a nice day:)

Assuming the coin is fair, probability of getting one tail is 50%, probability of getting two tails in a row is 50%*50% = 25% or 1/4

Answer:

Take the coordinates of each vertex (corner point) and subtract 2 from the x-coordinate; leave the y-coordinate alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: If one vertex is the point (5, 3), then it moves left 2 units to (3, 3).

If a vertex is at (-3, 1), then it moves 2 units left to (-5, 1).

Answer:

200 visitors went to screen 1.

125 visitors went to screen 2.

175 visitors went to screen 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find number of visitors who went to screen 1 by finding 40% of 500 as we are told that 40% of 500 visitors went to screen 1.

$500*\frac{40}{100} =5*40=200$

Therefore, 200 visitors went to screen 1.

Now we will find number of visitors who went to screen 2. We are told that 25% of 500 visitors went to screen 2.

$500*\frac{25}{100} =5*25=125$

Therefore, 125 visitors went to screen 2.

Now we will find the number of visitors who went to screen 3 by subtracting combined number of visitors who went to screen 1 and screen 2 from total number of visitors.

$500-(200+125)$
