Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the longest side of the triangle.

The shortest side of a triangle measures 15 inches less than the longest side. It means that the length of the shortest side is x - 15.

If the third side is 2 inches shorter than the longest side, it means that the length of the third side is

x - 2

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the lengths of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the triangle is 103 inches. It means that

x + x - 15 + x - 2 = 103

3x - 17 = 103

3x = 103 + 17 = 120

x = 120/3

x = 40

The length of the longest side is

40 inches

The length of the third side is

40 - 2 = 38 inches

The length of the shortest side is

40 - 15 = 25 inches

You are given 3 to 1 odds against tossing three tails with three​ coins, meaning you win ​$3 if you succeed and you lose ​$1 if
valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
  • your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
  • Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
  • Probability(x)=P(x)\\P(0)=\frac{1}{8} \\P(1)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(2)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(3)=\frac{1}{8}
  • The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
  • E(X)=(0)(0.125)+(1)(0.375)+(2)(0.375)+(3)(0.125)=1.5
  • Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
  • So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
  • But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games
