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

X2+y2=r2 Solve for y
Kaylis [27]

Answer: y=\sqrt{r^{2} -x^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+y^2=r^2 --> subtract x^2 to other side

y^2=r^2-x^2 --> square root both sides

y=sqrt(r^2-x^2)

Exists throughout Earth's crust. It is the building block of all living things.​
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: Carbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon is considered to be the building block of all living things as it is very important in the formation of compounds that are needed by living things to survive such as Carbohydrates and Protein and many more.

This is down to its ability to form stable compounds with other elements such as Hydrogen and oxygen both of which are present in Carbohydrates and Proteins.

Carbon exists in the Earth's crust as Carbonates in water, rocks, petroleum and living things as well especially plants and trees which release a significant amount if they are cut down.

A rectangle with an area of x2 - 4x – 12 square units is
tino4ka555 [31]

Hello there! :)

Answer:

First choice, (x + 2) and (x - 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the dimensions, recall that the formula for the volume of a rectangle is:

A = l × w

Simply factor x² -4 - 12. Find two numbers that add up to -4 and multiply into -12.

2, -6 satisfy these conditions. Use these numbers to write this equation in factored form:

(x + 2) (x - 6). Thus, the first option is the correct answer.

Andrews [41]
Well 1 package=3, so if she buys 5 packages it's 5*3=15. She still has 2 left so you take 15+2=17. She will have 17 juice boxes in total.
