A penny, a nickel, a dime, and a quarter are tossed. What is the probability of obtaining at least one head on the tosses?

1 answer:

5 0

The penny can land two ways. The nickel can land two ways. The dime can land two ways. The quarter can land two ways. The total number of ways that all of them can land is (2x2x2x2)= 16 possibilities. Only ONE result shows no heads . . . TAIL-TAIL- TAIL-TAIL. All of the other 15 possibilities include at least one HEAD. So the probability is 15/16 = 93.25% .

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent by expressing Sn as a telescoping sum. If it is convergent, find its sum

<span> i'm going to be slightly extra careful in showing each step. specific, ln [n / (n+a million) ]= ln n - ln(n+a million). So, we've sum(n=a million to infinity) ln [n / (n+a million) ] = lim(ok--> infinity) sum(n=a million to ok) ln [n / (n+a million) ] = lim(ok--> infinity) sum(n=a million to ok) [ln n - ln(n+a million)] = lim(ok--> infinity) (ln a million - ln 2) + (ln 2 - ln 3) + ... + (ln ok - ln(ok+a million)) = lim(ok--> infinity) (ln a million - ln(ok+a million)), for the reason that fairly much all the words cancel one yet another. Now, ln a million = 0 and lim(ok--> infinity) ln(ok+a million) is countless. So, the sum diverges to -infinity. IM NOT COMPLETELY SURE
