Outcomes with one head (h) = 3

P(1 h) = 3/8 = 0.375

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!!!! When is it a good idea to purchase discount points on a mortgage? Explain in complete s

olganol [36]

When discount points are paid, the bank collects a one-time fee at closing in exchange a lower mortgage rate to be honored for the life of the loan.

The banks consider this payment to be "prepaid mortgage interest". Meanwhile, mortgage interest is tax-deductible for eligible tax-filers so, for many mortgage borrowers, there's a tax advantage to paying discount points.

At the end of a recent WNBA regular season, the Phoenix murmur had 12 more victories than losses. The number of victories they h

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

34 games

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of losses be $l$

let the number of victories be $v$

the Phoenix murmur had 12 more victories than losses:

$v=l+12$

The number of victories they had was one more than two times the number of losses:

$v=2l+1$

We have 2 expressions for $v$ , equating these 2, we can solve for $l$ :

$l+12=2l+1\\12-1=2l-l\\11=l$

So 11 games, they lost.

Using this value, we can plug into the 1st equation to solve for v:

$v=l+12\\v=11+12\\v=23$

So 23 games, they won.

Given that no draws, they played a total of 23 + 11 = 34 games this season
