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}

\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}

\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent  }

\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}

\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}

\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }

\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}

\sf{Let \: the \: total \:  population\: be \: x }

\sf{\underline{ Therefore }}

\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }

\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }

\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}

\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}

\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}

\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}

\sf{ x = 180010/100}

\sf{ x = 1800.1 }

for these scenarios, write equations or inequalities that reflect the relationship. The minimum number of hours required to rent
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

100 + 35x \geq 280 is the inequality that reflect the relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Charge for rental =   $100

Additional charge =  $ 35

Minimum amount that can be spent =  $280

To Find:

equations or inequalities that reflect the relationship = ?

Solution:

Let x be the minimum number of hours

then the charge will  be

100  + (number of hours)(additional cost per hour)

That is

100 + 35x

Now the minimum charge amount is $280 So, The charge can be 280 or more than 280

100 + 35x \geq 280
