You are given an unfair coin (i.e. a coin where the probability of it landing on either side is NOT 1/21/2) and told that the pr

obability of getting at least one tails in three tosses of said coin is 26/2726/27. The probability of getting heads in one toss of the unfair coin can be expressed in the form M/NM/N, where MM and NN are relatively prime positive integers (i.e. their greatest common divisor is 1). Compute M + NM+N

Here we have a problem of probability, we will find that the probability of landing in heads is M/N = 1/3, then we have:

M + N = 1 + 3 = 4.

Let's see how we got that:

Let's define:

p = probability of landing on tails

q = probability of landing on heads.

The probability of getting at least one tails in 3 tosses is 26/27

This means that the probability of not getting tails in the 3 tosses is:

P = 1 - 26/27 = 1/27

And the case where you do not get any tails in the 3 tosses, means that in all the 3 tosses you got heads.

The probability of getting 3 heads in a row is:

P = q^3 = 1/27

Solving for q, we get:

q = ∛(1/27) = 1/3

Now we want to express q = M/N = 1/3

then we have:

M = 1

N = 3

Now we want to compute M + N = 1 + 3 = 4

What are the missing sides and angles of this triangle? What is the area?
Butoxors [25]
This does not appear to be a right triangle.  However, we know 2 sides and the included angle, so can find the unknown side length.  Let x represent this length.  Then:

x^2 = (9 m)^2 + (12 m)^2 - 2(9m)(12 m)*cos 30 degrees, or

x^2 = 81 + 144 - 216(sqrt(3) / 2).  Please solve for x^2 and then solve the result for x, making sure to choose the positive value.  The result will be the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle.

With 1 of 3 angles known, and 3 of 3 sides known, you can use the Law of Sines to find the other two angles.  As a reminder, the Law of Sines looks like this:

   a            b              c
-------- = --------- = ----------
sin A       sin B       sin C.

You can give the 30-deg angle any name you want; then a, the length of the side opposite the 30-deg angle, which you have just found.  And so on.
