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}

. Andre drinks 15 ounces of water, which is 3 5 of a bottle. How much does the bottle hold? Use x for the number of ounces of wa
Serga [27]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrea drinks 15 ounces of ater

It is 3/5 of the bottle

Therefore the amount which the bottle will hold can be calculated as follows

= 15 ÷ 3/5

= 15 × 5/3

= 75/3

= 25

Hence the bottle will hold 25 ounces of water

Please help me!! i don’t understand this like at all this is algebra btw

The length and width of the fence should be made 76.25 feet and 23.75 feet respectively. Also, the expression for the length is L = 3W + 5 and the perimeter is P = 2(4W + 5).

<h3>How to determine the fence's dimension?</h3>

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated by using this formula;

P = 2(L + W)

<u>Where:</u>

  • P is the perimeter of a rectangle.
  • L is the length of a rectangle.
  • W is the width of a rectangle.

Since the length of this fence is 5 more than 3 times the width, we have:

L = 3W + 5

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

200 = 2(3W + 5 + W)

200 = 2(4W + 5)

200 = 8W + 10

8W = 190

W = 190/8

W = 23.75 feet.

For the length, we have:

L = 3W + 5

L = 3(23.75) + 5

L = 76.25 feet.
