What is the probability of tossing a penny and landing on heads 3 times in a row

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rasek [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.

∠1 and ∠2 are alternate exterior angles where transversal BE crosses parallel lines AC and DF, therefore they are equal. ∠2 and ∠3 are opposite angles of a parallelogram, therefore they are equal.

... ∠1 = ∠2

... 3x -5 = 2x +15 . . . . substitute the given values

... x = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-2x

The measures of angles 1, 2, and 3 are 2·20+15 = 55 . . . degrees.

12x - 2y = -1<br>+ 4x + 6y= -4<br>​
svp [43]

Answer:

x = -7/40 , y = -11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

4 x + 6 y = -4 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+(20 y)/3 = (-11)/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+20 y = -11 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 20:

{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = (-11)/20 | (equation 2)

Add 2 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{12 x+0 y = (-21)/10 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 12:

{x+0 y = (-7)/40 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = -7/40 , y = -11/20
