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

A merchant has coffee worth $20 a pound that she wishes to mix with 70 pounds of coffee worth $90 a pound to get a mixture that
Dvinal [7]

Let us start with assuming the amount of coffee worth $20 a pound to be "x" pounds.

Now she wants to mix "x" pounds of $20 coffee with 70 pounds of $90 coffee.

So the mixture would be (x + 70) pounds.

And the value of mixture would be = 20·x + (90)·(70) = (20x + 6300) dollars.

She want to sell this mixture at rate of $30 a pound. Her earning would be = 30·(x + 70) = (30x + 2100) dollars.

We know that the value of mixture would be equal to her earnings.

30x + 2100 = 20x + 6300

30x - 20x = 6300 - 2100

10x = 4200

x = 420

So, 420 pounds of $20 coffee would be used.

Harlamova29_29 [7]
If Vicki works 19 hours per week att $17.30 per hour, then her weekly savings is (17.30)(19) = $328.70 So, if she needs to save at least 4 000, then she it will take her (4000/328.70) which is approximately 12.17 weeks. That means she has to save for at least 13<span> weeks. </span>
