Roger will flip a coin 3 times. Which 2 events are disjoint?

Ganezh [65]3 years ago

Answer: D. Getting at least 2 heads and Getting at least 2 tails

=========================================================

Explanation:

Choice A is not disjoint because "getting at least 1 tail" could have the sequence TTH. We see that we have two tails and exactly one head. So the events "getting exactly 1 head" and "Getting at least 1 tail" are possible to occur at the same time; therefore, they aren't disjoint events. Disjoint events are two events that cannot occur simultaneously. An example would be flipping heads and tails on the same coin at the same time.

Choice B is also not disjoint. We could have the sequence THT, which has at least one head and at least one tail. "At least" means that amount or more.

Choice C is also not disjoint. We could have the sequence HTT. This has exactly one head and at least two tails.

Choice D is the only thing left. It must be the answer. It is not possible to get 2 heads and 2 tails when Roger only flips the coin 3 times. He would need to flip the coin at least 4 times for this to happen. The portions "at least" don't even need to be considered. So this shows how choice D is disjoint.

What transformations were applied to the graph of the parent function y=tan(x) to produce the function graphed below?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

It's D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of tan x passes through (0,0)  whereas this graph passes through the point (pi/4 , 0) so it  a horizontal  translation to the right.  We see that the  period is 6 units along the x axis which is  6 * pi/4 = 3 pi/2.
