Alice and Bob are playing a game. Alice starts first. On Alice's turn, she flips a coin. If she gets a heads, she wins. If not,

it becomes Bob's turn. On Bob's turn, he flips a coin. If he gets a tails, he wins. If not, it becomes Alice's turn. What is the probability that Alice wins the game?

Answer:

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Alice and Bob are playing a game .

We have to find the probability that Alice wins the game .

If Alice win when she gets head and lose when she gets tail.Bob wins when she gets tail and she lose when she gets head.

Total results in a coin=Head, tail=2

Number of head in a coin=1

Number of tail in a coin= 1

Probability is defined as the possibility of an event that occurred

P(E)=\frac{Number\;of\;favourable\;cases}{total\;of\;cases}

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{Number\;of\;favourable\;cases}{Total\;number\;of\;cases}

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{number \;of \;heads}{Total\; results}

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{1}{2}

Lesson 1-1: The periodic comet named Johnson has been seen at every return since its discovery in 1949, as shown in the table be
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Occurrence                 Year seen          Difference

1                                      1949                       -  

2                                     1956               1956 - 1949 = 7

3                                     1963               1963 - 1956 = 7

4                                     1970                1970 - 1963 = 7

Difference between each successive term of year seen = 7 years

Therefore, there is a common difference of 7 years between each successive term.

Function defining the year seen will be a linear function and will increase in the same pattern. (multiple of 7 years)

2017 - 1970 = 47 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2018 - 1970 = 48 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2019 - 1970 = 49 (multiple of 7)

2020 - 1970 = 50 (It's not the multiple of 7)

Therefore, comet will be seen next in 2019.

Option (C) will be the answer.

If a person is born in 2005

Then difference between 2005 and 1949 = 56 years

Number of times comet seen after 1949 = \frac{56}{7}=8 times

Total number of comet seen in the lifetime = 8 times

Peter mixes 4 1/2 cups of orange juice, 2 1/4 of ginger ale and 6 1/3 cups of strawberry lemonade to make some punch. What is th
ruslelena [56]
To add these amounts together, we must first find their least common multiple in order to get common denominators (b/c when you add fractions, the denominators must be the same).

We'll start by listing some of their multiples.
To do this, count by whatever the denominator is:
4 1/2 (denominator is 2): 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
2 1/4 (denominator is 4): 4 8 12 16
6 1/3 (denominator is 3): 3 6 9 12 15

Look and see which is the first multiple that all three denominators have. Circle them if it helps you. In this case, it's 12.

So now we have to multiply the denominators by whatever number it takes to reach 12, and multiply by the same number to the numerator:

4 1/2 (times 6 to both top and bottom) =
4 6/12

2 1/4 (times 3) = 2 3/12

6 1/3 (times 4) = 6 4/12

Add all these fractions together, and you get 12 13/12, which is equal to 13 1/12.

Thus, Peter makes a total of 13 1/2 cups.

Hope this made sense! tell me if anything is confusing/incorrect :))

The art museum is 8 1/2 miles from Alison's house. Alison has ridden her bike 2/3 of the way there so far. How far how she gone?
ozzi
Alison is 2/3 of the way to the museum, so the answer is about 2/3 of 9, or 6 miles.  Let's calculate it:

  2                              17 miles
---- * (8 1/2 miles) = --------------     She has ridden (17/3) miles, which is 5 2/3 
 3                                    3             miles.
