Answer:

80/81

Step-by-step explanation:

If a head is twice as likely to occur as a tail, then the probability of getting heads is 2/3 and the probability of getting tails is 1/3.

The probability of getting at least 1 head involves 4 scenarios:

1) 1 Head and 3 Tails

2) 2 Heads and 2 Tails

3) 3 Heads and 1 Tail

4) 4 Heads

Instead of calculate all these scenarios, you could calculate the opposite scenario: 4 Tails. The sum of all possible scenarios is 1, so:

P(at least one head) + P(no heads) = 1

Then, P(at least one head) = 1 - P(no heads)

The probability of 4 tails is:

P(no heads) = P(TTTT) = (1/3)(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)=1/81

Then, P(at least one head) = 1 - 1/81=80/81

Algebra find each unknown 6/12=x/2
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

6/12 = x/2

Simplify the left side by dividing the top and bottom by 6

1/2 = x/2

Using cross products

2x =2

Divide by 2

2x/2 =2/2

x=1

The area of a face of a cube is 144cm^2 . find its volume​
love history [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 face area = length x width (aka length x length since cube)

therefore 1 side = ±√144 cm = 12 cm or - 12cm (rej as length > 0cm)

volume = length x width x height = 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728cm^3

Factor completely 4xy − 7x 20y − 35. (x 5)(4y − 7) (x − 5)(4y 7) (x − 5)(4y − 7) (x 5)(4y 7).
yuradex [85]

Answer:

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

To factor the given expression completely.

Solution:

In order to factor the expression, we will factor in pairs.

We will factor the G.C.F of the terms in the pairs.

G.C.F. of  and  can be given as:

Thus, G.C.F. =

G.C.F. of  and  can be given as:

Thus, G.C.F. =

The expression after factoring the G.C.F. pairs is given as:

Taking G.C.F. of the whole expression as  is a common term.

The expression is completely factored.
