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.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

17576

Step-by-step explanation:

As L can be anything from A to Z , there are 26 combinations for that and as repetition is allowed, for second and third letters, we again have 26 combinations available and thus 26×26×26=17576 combinations for letters.

How many 1 over 8 isin 1 whole and how many 1/8 are in 3 whole
Black_prince [1.1K]
You divide one by 1/8 to get the first answer.
It is obvious there are 8 pieces of eight in one whole.
Now to get the amount of eights in three wholes, multiply how much is in one whole by 3 to get 2.

2/3 of a number is 11 work out half the number
Ugo [173]

Answer:

33/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number

2/3 * n = 11

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 * 2/3 n = 11 * 3/2

n = 33/2

We want to find 1/2 of n

1/2 * 33/2 = 33/4
