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.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The y-intercept is at the point (0, 9).

Step-by-step explanation:

WE have the y intercept when x = 0:

-7(0) - 5y = -45

-5y = -45

y = -45/-5 = 9.

Difference between compounded annually, monthly and daily.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

With monthly compounding, the bank will calculate interest on your account just once per month. It will not update your balance on a daily basis when it calculates how much interest it owes you. Assuming that the APR is the same, accounts with monthly compounding offer a lower APY than accounts with daily compounding.
