Answer:

(a) 1/2

(b) 1/2

(c) 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when a fair coin is tossed three times,

The the total number of possible outcomes

n(S) = 2 × 2 × 2

= 8 { HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT },

Here, B : { At least two heads are observed } ,

⇒ B = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH},

⇒ n(B) = 4,

Since,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

(a) So, the probability of B,

P(B) =\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

(b) A : { At least one head is observed },

⇒ A = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH},

∵ A ∩ B = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH},

n(A∩ B) = 4,

\implies P(A\cap B) = \frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(S)} = \frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

(c) C: { The number of heads observed is odd },

⇒ C = { HHH, HTT, THT, TTH},

∵ A ∩ B ∩ C = {HHH},

⇒ n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 1,

\implies P(A\cap B\cap C)=\frac{1}{8}

There are 442 boy students in class
poizon [28]

Answer:

520

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is

boys + girls = total

Boys = 442

Girls = 15% of the total

Therefore, substituting in, gives us:

442 + .15t = t, where t is total

Then 442 = .85t and

t = 520

Which statement is true? 5 6 8 27 을 ll &lt; - 3 8 4 8 6 6
Neko [114]
Fractions

We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:

<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.

<h2>Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>
