Well 85% of 25 is 21.25. So the closest ones would be 20 or 22. Well let's check out the difference's. 21.25-20= 1.25.....22-21.25=.75. well clearly .75 is smaller than 1.25 so your answer would be 22. 85% of 25 is closest to 22.
In this question, we are concerned with calculating the probability that when a coin is flipped there would be a show of heads three times.
In flipping of a coin, there are only two possible results with equal probability. The probability of both events i.e P(H) and P(T) is equal and that is 1/2
Thus the probability of getting heads three times in a row will be P(HHH) meaning P(H) and another P(H) and another P(H)
When we have and in a probability question, that means we are to multiply the probabilities together.
