Discrete MathA coin is flipped four times. For each of the events described below, express the event as a set in roster notation

. Each outcome is written as a string of length 4 from {H, T}, such as HHTH.

Answer:

a) 25%

b) 50%

c) 87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2^4 = 16 number of outcome in total.

a)First and last flips come up heads. There are 4 outcomes here. Probability of the event is 4/16 = 1/4, or 25%.

- HHHH

- HHTH

- HTHH

- HTTH

b) at least 2 Consecutive flips that is heads. There are 8 outcomes. Probability of event is 8/16 = 1/2, or 50%

- HHHH

- HHHT

- HHTH

- HHTT

- THHH

- THHT

- HTHH

- TTHH

c) At least 2 consecutive flips that are the same. There are 14 outcomes. Probability of 14/16 = 7/8, or 87.5%

- HHHH

- HHHT

- HHTH

- HHTT

- THHH

- THHT

- HTHH

- TTHH

- TTTT

- TTTH

- TTHT

- HTTT

- HTTH

- THTT

A colony of 2^120 bacteria occupies a total volume of 1.3*10^15*m^3
finlep [7]
The complete question is 
A colony of  <span>2^120 bacteria occupies a total volume of </span><span>1.3 x 10^15 m^3. The surface area of a planet is approximately 5.42 x 10^14 m^2. </span>
<span>Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. </span>

<span>a) Assume that the bacteria are distributed uniformly over the​ planet's surface. How deep would the bacterial layer​ be? (You can find the approximate depth by dividing the bacteria volume by the​ planet's surface​ area.) </span>
<span>____m </span>

<span>b) Would the bacteria be​ knee-deep, more than​ knee-deep, or less than​ knee-deep? </span>

<span>A. The bacteria would be less than​ knee-deep. </span>
<span>B. The bacteria would be more than​ knee-deep. </span>
<span>C. The bacteria would be​ knee-deep. </span>
<span>D. It depends on the height of the person
</span>
Part a) 
Find the approximate depth 
<span>= (bacteria volume / planet surface area) </span>
<span>= (1.3 x 10^15 m³) / (5.42 x 10^14 m²) </span>
<span>= 2.4 m 
</span>
the answer Part a) is 
2.4 m

Part b) 
No information is given about the height of the 'people' on this planet, and hence we cannot guess at their average knee height. 
<span>2.4 meters is about 7.9 feet. That is obviously above the knee for any human, but. again, the question does not explicitly state that we are talking about Earth and humans
</span>
therefore

the answer part b) is the option
D. It depends on the height of the person

nika is making cakes for a bake sale at school when she realizes she is running out of milk, each cake requires 1/4 cups of milk
Reil [10]

Answer:

Nika can make 15 cups of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many cups she can make, we divide 3 3/4 by 1/4. First, we convert 3 3/4 to an improper fraction.

3 ¾ / ¼           Equation

15/4 /  ¼         Convert to improper

15/4 * 4/1        Reverse sign & second fraction

= 60/4

= 15

Also, 15 * 1/4 = 3  ¾, so its correct!
