Each coin has a head and a tail, therefore when you toss two coins, you have 4 possible outcomes. You have two heads in only one of these outcomes, while the other three have at least one tail.

The expected value of the game is the price paid/gained times the probability of loss/victory:

E = (1 / 4) · (-6) + (3 / 4) · (2)
   = -3 / 2 + 3 / 2
   = 0

Bob expects to tie with Will.

A cube-shaped gift box has a volume of 8 cubic inches what is the side length of the box
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Each side is 2 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is Length x Width x Height

For a cube, all sides are the same so you need to figure out what number you can cube (multiply by it self 3 times) to get it to 8.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8

So, each side is 2 inches long.

Answer:

So the number of total combinations is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Ellen must take 4 courses this semester. She has a list of 3 math courses and 4 science courses.  

Therefore, she have total 7 courses.  

So, we calculate the number of combinations to choose 4 out of 7  courses.

We get:

C_4^7=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=35\\

So the number of total combinations is 35.
