Consider the random experiment of tossing 3 fair coins and observing how many of them come to rest with the heads side of the co

in facing upwards. (Assume that each of the coins comes to rest with either its heads side or its tails side facing upwards (i.e., none of the coins comes to rest balanced on its edge).) Letting A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, and S denote the sample space, which of the following statements does not include an abuse of notation?
a. S = 16
b. S = AUB
c. S - 4
d. S = 3
e. P(B) = φ

Answer:

b. S = AUB

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coins are tossed  3 times and each coin has head, H and tail, T(2 sides), the sample space is S = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8

All the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT and TTT

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

Since A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH and THT

So, A = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT}

Also B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, that is no heads. The possible outcome is TTT

So, B = {TTT}

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

So, A ∪ B = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT} ∪  {TTT} = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT} = S

So, S = A ∪ B

So, S = A ∪ B does not denote an abuse of notation.

The answer is b.

The answer would be 14/15

Find a common denominator that both of the fractions can use. An easy way to do this is simply multiply the denominators together. So for 3/5 you would multiply by 3 to get the fraction 9/15 and then multiply 1/3 by 5 to get 5/15. Add both 9/15 and 5/15 to then get 14/15.

A flower bed has the shape of a rectangle 5 yards long and 4 yards wide. What is its area in square feet?
aalyn [17]
To find the area, use A= bh (base x height), or A = lw (length x width)

There are 3 feet in 1 yard

3 x 5 = 15
4 x 3 = 12

15 x 12 = 180

The flower bed is 180 ft² 

hope this helps

Does anybody know how to do time with exponential decay
My name is Ann [436]
<span>From the message you sent me:

when you breathe normally, about 12 % of the air of your lungs is replaced with each breath. how much of the original 500 ml remains after 50 breaths

If you think of number of breaths that you take as a time measurement, you can model the amount of air from the first breath you take left in your lungs with the recursive function

b_n=0.12\times b_{n-1}

Why does this work? Initially, you start with 500 mL of air that you breathe in, so b_1=500\text{ mL}. After the second breath, you have 12% of the original air left in your lungs, or b_2=0.12\timesb_1=0.12\times500=60\text{ mL}. After the third breath, you have b_3=0.12\timesb_2=0.12\times60=7.2\text{ mL}, and so on.

You can find the amount of original air left in your lungs after n breaths by solving for b_n explicitly. This isn't too hard:

b_n=0.12b_{n-1}=0.12(0.12b_{n-2})=0.12^2b_{n-2}=0.12(0.12b_{n-3})=0.12^3b_{n-3}=\cdots

and so on. The pattern is such that you arrive at

b_n=0.12^{n-1}b_1

and so the amount of air remaining after 50 breaths is

b_{50}=0.12^{50-1}b_1=0.12^{49}\times500\approx3.7918\times10^{-43}

which is a very small number close to zero.</span>
