Consider a fair coin, such that the probability of observing a head or a tail in a random toss is 0.5. Consider an experiment in

which the coin is tossed twice and the two outcomes (O1 and O2) are recorded. Obviously, the probability of observing one head and one tails is 0.5 and the probability of observing both heads or both tails is 0.25 each. Consider the following two probabilities: Given the knowledge that there is at least 1 tails, the probability that there is one head observed is pa. If O1 is heads, the probability that O2 is tails is pb Which of the following statements are true: a) pa is 1/2 and pb is 1/2 b) pa is 1/3 and pb is 2/3 c) pa and pb are not equal d) pa is 2/3 and pb is 1/3

Applying probability concepts, it is found that the correct statements are:

  • c) pa and pb are not equal
  • d) pa is 2/3 and pb is 1/3

-------------------------------------------

  • A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The sample space, that is, the possible outcomes for the coin tosses is given next, considering H for heads and T for tails.

H - H

H - T

T - H

T - T

-------------------------------------------

  • Considering that there is at least 1 tails, the new sample space is:

H - T

T - H

T - T

  • pa: probability of one head, two outcomes with 1 head out of three, thus, pa = 2/3.
  • pb: probability that the second is tails, so one outcome(T - T) out of three, thus pb = 1/3.

-------------------------------------------

The correct statements are:

  • c) pa and pb are not equal
  • d) pa is 2/3 and pb is 1/3

WILL MARK BRAINLIST!!What is the measure of one interior angle in a regular pentagon?
never [62]
The answer is 108°

A regular pentagon has all its five sides equal and all five angles are also equal. Hence, the measure of each interior angle of a regular pentagon is given by the below formula. Measure of each interior angle = [(n – 2) × 180°]/n = 540°/5 = 108°.

A fruit punch recipe that serves 20 people calls for 32 fluid ounces of pineapple juice and 48 fluid ounces of orange juice. Mon
Hoochie [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

so the ratio of the recipe is 32/48 of pineapple juice and orange juice.

that can be simplified to the ratio of 2/3.

now, she has only 20 floz of pineapple juice.

20/x = 2/3

60/x = 2

60 = 2x

x = 60/2 = 30

she needs 30 floz of orange juice with the 20 floz of pineapple juice to maintain the prescribed ratio for fruit punch.

A soccer ball is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = - 16t^2 + 48t where t equals t
andriy [413]

Answer:

x = 3/2

The axis of symmetry is located at the vertex,

which is the also the highest point in this problem...

the x component of the vertex can be calculated as -b/2a = -48/-32 = 24/16 = 6/4 = 3/2

x = 3/2
