Answer: \dfrac{7}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When a coin is tossed twice , the total outcomes will become

HHH , HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT ,TTT

Total outcomes = 8

Favorable outcomes to obtain 1 and 3 inclusive = HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT ,TTT

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Probability that the number of tails obtained will be between 1 and 3 inclusive = \dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

=\dfrac{7}{8}

Hence, the probability that the number of tails obtained will be between 1 and 3 inclusive =\dfrac{7}{8}

I added a screenshot of the complete question along with the given choices.

<em><u>Answers:</u></em>

w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft ................> second option

w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft ...............> third option

w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft ...............> fifth option

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

<u>We are given that:</u>

length should be at least 20 ...........> length ≥ 20

equation for perimeter is : 2l + 2w ≤ 200

<u>We will check each option as follows:</u>

<u>Option 1:</u>

w = 50 ft and l = 10 ft

This option is incorrect as the proposed length is less than 20.

<u>Option 2:</u>

w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(10) = 100 + 20 = 120 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

<u>Option 3:</u>

w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(60) + 2(20) = 120 + 40 = 160 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

<u>Option 4:</u>

w = 90 ft and l = 30 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(30) + 2(90) = 60 + 180 = 240 > 200

The second condition is not satisfied.

This option is incorrect

<u>Option 5:</u>

w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(40) = 100 + 80 = 180 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

Hope this helps :)
