Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways a fair coin can land is 2^6 which is 64 times

The probability of any one of the 6 is 1/64 = 0.015625

The explanation is that there are two ways a coin can land. And each way is independent of the way it landed before. If you consistently get any other answer, then the coin is not a fair one.

  • Heads or tails   2
  • Heads or tails 2
  • Heads or tails 2
  • Heads or tails   2
  • Heads or tails 2
  • Heads or tails 2

The result is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 *2 = 64

Answer:

1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting an H is 1/2, the same of getting a T.

The tosses are all independent.  That is, P(H) = P(T) = 1/2, and one toss does not affect the next one in any way.

The desired probability is (1/2)^6 = 1/64.  The exponent 6 is used because 6 tosses occur.

You buy 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $34. Your friend buys 3 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $69. What is the price of 1 shi
V125BC [204]

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8
