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}

△ABC ≅ △DEF, EF = x 2 - 7, and BC = 4x - 2.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Therefore the value of x is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

△ABC ≅ △DEF,

EF = x 2 - 7, and

BC = 4x - 2.

To Find:

the values of x. = ?

Solution:

△ABC ≅ △DEF      ........Given

If two Triangles are congruent then the Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.

∴ BC ≅ EF   ...................CPCTC

Substituting the values we get

4x-2=x^{2}-7\\x^{2}-4x-5=0

Now By Factorizing we get

x^{2}-5x+x-5=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)=0\\(x+1)(x-5)=0\\x+1=0\ or\ x-5=0\\x=-1\ or\ x=5\\x\ cannot\ be\ negative\\\therefore x=5

Therefore the value of x is 5.

What is the area of the composite figure
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a composite figure, separate it into the regular parts which make the irregular shape. This shape is composed of a semi-circle and a rectangle. Find the area by finding the area of each shape.

Semi-circle:

The semi-circle has a diameter of 2 + 4 + 2 = 8. The area this figure uses the radius which is half the diameter. The radius is 4. To find the area substitute r = 4 into \pi r^2 = \pi 4^2 = 16\pi. However the semi-circle has a smaller circle cut out of it with radius 2. The area of the smaller circle is \pir^2 = \pi 2^2=4\pi. The semi circle in the shape is the areas subtracted which equals 12π.

Rectangle:

The area of the rectangle is found using A = b*h = 2*5 = 10.

The total area is 12π + 10 meters squared.

Natalie made a nut mixture that contains
Harman [31]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

10 kg of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts

60(10)

plus

15 kg of a different brand of mixed nuts. with x% peanuts

x(15)

=

That makes 25 kg with 54% peanuts

54(25)

--------------------------

Equation

60(10) + x(15) = 54(25)

600 + 15x = 1350

Subtract 600 from both sides

15x = 750

Diviede both sides by 15

x = 50

50%
