When a certain type of thumbtack is​ flipped, the probability of its landing tip up​ (U) is 0.66 and the probability of its land

ing tip down​ (D) is 0.34. Suppose you flip two such​ thumbtacks, one at a time. Make a list of all the possible arrangements using U for up and D for down. Find the probabilities of each possible outcome.

Answer: There are 4 possibilities. They are all listed below with their percents.

You can create a tree diagram to shows all of the possibilities. It will start with 2 branches and then each of those branches will have 2 branches.

The possibilities are:  UU, UD, DU, DD

To find the probabilities of each, you have to multiply the percent for each together.

UU = 0.66 x 0.66 = 0.4356
UD = 0.66 x 0.34 = 0.2244
DU = 0.34 x 0.66 = 0.2244
DD = 0.34 x 0.34 = 0.1156

Answer:

The total number of possible ways are: {(U,U), (U,D), (D,U), (D,D)}

The required table is shown below:

                          UU          UD           DU        DD

Probability     0.4356   0.2244   0.2244   0.1156

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

When a certain type of thumbtack is​ flipped, the probability of its landing tip up​ (U) is 0.66 and the probability of its landing tip down​ (D) is 0.34.

Part (A) We need to make a list of all the possible arrangements using U for up and D for down.

Let both thumbtack landing tip up​ (U) = (U,U)

Let one thumbtack landing tip up​ and landing tip of second is down = (U,D), (D,U)

Let both thumbtack landing tip down (D) = (D,D)

Hence, the total number of possible ways are: {(U,U), (U,D), (D,U), (D,D)}

Thus, there are 4 possible ways.

Part (B) Find the probabilities of each possible outcome.

It is given that landing tip up​ (U) is 0.66 and the probability of its landing tip down​ (D) is 0.34.

Probability of (U,U) is = 0.66×0.66=0.4356

Probability of (U,D) is = 0.66×0.34=0.2244

Probability of (D,U) is = 0.34×0.66=0.2244

Probability of (D,D) is = 0.34×0.34=0.1156

The required table is shown below:

                          UU          UD           DU        DD

Probability     0.4356   0.2244   0.2244   0.1156

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

6\sqrt{-1}-7

Step-by-step explanation:

simplyifying this we get

1+5i-8+i

= 6i-7

I am assuming the i you are talking about here is the sqrt of negative one so that would be 6\sqrt{-1}-7

I need with #10, please?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

h=7ft

Step-by-step explanation:

sinФ=opposite/hypotenuse

sin45°=5/h

0.71=5/h

multiply via by h

0.71h=(5/h)h

h cancel h it remains 5

0.71h=5

divide through by 0.71

0.71h/0.71=5/0.71

h=7.04ft

h=7ft approximately

Roger served 5/8 pound of crackers, which was 2/3 of the entire box. what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box
ira [324]
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box

Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1

So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.

5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16

5/8 + 5/16

Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:

10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16

So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
