Answer: Option E is the correct answer; (1 + p⁴) / (1 + p³)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (3 head) = P(first and 3 heads) + P(second coin and 3 heads)

= (1/2)×1³ + (1/2)× p³ = (1/2) × (1 + p³)

therefore P(first coin given 3 heads) = (1/2)×1³/ ((1/2)×(1 + p³))

= 1 / (1 + p³)

Also P( second coin given 3 heads) = p³ /(1 + p³)

therefore P(4th toss in heads given first 3 are heads)  will be;

= P(first and 4th toss heads) + P(second and 4th toss heads)

=(1/( 1 + p³ )) × 1 + p³ / (1+p³) × p

= (1 + p⁴) / (1 + p³)

Therefore Option E is the correct answer

6 + 24 = 30

3.) 4(5) + 7(5)

20 + 35 = 55

4.) 10(4) + 18(5)

40 + 90 = 130

5.) 2 + 8(1/4)

2 + 2 = 4

6.) 9(1/3) + 8(1/4)

3 + 2 = 5

7.) 3(8) + 7(4)

24 + 28 = 52

a waiter earns $128 for 6 hours of work.The total included $86 in tips.How much does the waiter earn each hour
marta [7]
To find this out, subtract the tip from the total:

$128 - $86= $42

Then divide the 42 by 6:

42 / 6 = 7

So the waiter earns $7 per hour.

Hope this helps!
