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}

54 students fit on a bus. There are 125
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 3 buses

Step-by-step explanation: If 54 students fit on a bus, and 125 students are in 8th grade,

You should divide.

125 divided by 54 is 2.31...

we can't have 2.31... buses, so we say 3 buses.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (−3, 2)?
enyata [817]
You forgot to include the given line.

We need the given line to find the slope. The slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the line of the equation you are looking for is the same slope of the given line.

I can explain you the procedure to help you to find the desired equation:

1) Slope

Remember that the slope-intercept equation form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is thye y-intercept.

If you clear y in every equation you get:

a) y = (3/4)x + 17/4 => slope = 3/4

b) y = (3/4)x + 20/4 = (3/4)x + 5 => slope = 3/4

c) y = -(4/3)x - 2/3 => slope = -4/3

d) y = (-4/3)x - 6/3 = (-4/3)x - 2 => slope = -4/3

So, you just have to compare the slope of the given line with the above slopes to see which equations are candidates.

2) Point (-3,2)

You  must verify which equations pass through the point (-3,2).

a) 3x - 4y = - 17

3(-3) - 4(2) =  -17
- 9 - 8 = - 17
- 17 = - 17 => it is candidate

b) 3x - 4y = - 20

- 17 ≠ - 20 => it is not candidate

c) 4x + 3y = - 2

4(-3) + 3(2) = - 2
-12 + 6 = - 2
-6 ≠ -2 => it is not candidate

d) 4x + 3y = - 6

   -6 = - 6 => it is candidate

3) So, the point (-3,2) permits to select two candidates

3x - 4y = - 17, and 4x + 3y = -6.

4) Yet you have to find the slope of the given equation, if it is 3/4 the solutions is the equation 3x - 4y = -17; if it is -4/3 the solution is the equation 4x + 3y = -6.
