Answer:

0.140625

Step-by-step explanation:

Total numbers of possible combinations for a coin = 2^n

If the coin is tossed 10 times, we have 2^10 = 1024

If the coin is tossed once, we have 2^1 = 2 outcomes.

The possible outcomes are H, T.

We have 2 outcomes with no two consecutive head.

If the coin is tossed twice, we have 2^2 = 4 outcomes.

The possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT

We have 1 outcome with two consecutive heads and 3 outcomes without two consecutive heads.

If the coin is tossed thrice, we have 2^3 = 8 outcomes.

The possible outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, TTH, THT, THH and TTT

We have 3 outcomes with two consecutive head and 5 outcomes without two consecutive heads.

Comparing the results from the outcomes of the coin,we have 2,3,5,......

This looks like a financial sequence. For the next 10 tosses, we have

2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144

We have 144 outcomes without two consecutive heads if the coin is tossed 10 times

Pr(number of two consecutive Heads in 10 tosses) = 144/1024

= 0.140625

Hello,

Let's assume a the hypotenuse

b/a=sin 30°==>b=a/2

c/a=cos 30°==>c=√3 / 2 *a

(√3/2 a, a/2,a) are the sides of the triangle.

Which graph represents the function f(x)=-|x|-2?
skad [1K]

Answer:

ind the absolute value vertex. In this case, the vertex for y=−|x|−2 is (0,−2).

(0,−2)

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.

Interval Notation:

(−∞,∞)

Set-Builder Notation:  {x|x ∈ R}

For each x value, there is one y value. Select few x values from the domain. It would be more useful to select the values so that they are around the x value of the absolute value vertex.

 x     y

−2   −4

−1    −3

 0   −2

 1    −3

 2   −4

Step-by-step explanation:

profit = SP - CP = 18 - 15 = 3 naira

total profit percentage =

  • ( profit / CP ) × 100
  • 3 / 15 × 100
  • 20%
