A coin is flipped twice. What is the probability that it will come up once heads and once tails

Mathematics

1/2 or 50%, because there are two possibilities out of four.

If you think about flipping a coin twice, there are exactly four possible outcomes:

  Flip 1          Flip 2

1. tails            heads

2. tails            tails

3. heads        tails

4. heads        heads

In two of these possibilities (1 and 3) the coin flipped different sides.

That means 2/4 possibilities matched, and this can be reduced to 1/2

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

.894

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is to solve for the height of the triangle, BD.  That's easy.  We have the length of the hypotenuse and the base, so Pythagorean's Theorem gives us that the height is 8.003255588 which rounds nicely to 8.  Now you have to call on the fond memories you have of the geometric mean in right triangles to solve the rest.  For the sin of x you need the hypotenuse of that smaller right triangle on the left, side AB.  First let's use geometric mean to find AD.  The formula for that, now that we know the height, is

BD^2=(AD)(DC)

Filling that in with numbers we have

8^2=(AD)16 and

64 = 16(AD).  Solve for AD to get that AD has a length of 4.  Now we know two of the three sides in that smaller triangle on the left and can solve for the hypotenuse.

8^2+4^2=c^2 and

64+16=c^2 so

c=√80 which simplifies to 4√5.  That means that the sin ratio for x is

\frac{8}{4\sqrt{5} }

which divides out to .894
