question:If you flip a fair coin three times, what is the probability of getting exactly two heads?
answer:When flipping a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). Flipping the coin three times will result in eight possible sequences (HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT). We want to find the probability of getting exactly two heads. There are three sequences with two heads: HHT, HTH, and THH. To calculate the probability, we need to determine the probability of each sequence and then add them together. The probability of getting a head (H) is 1/2, and the probability of getting a tail (T) is also 1/2. P(HHT) = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8 P(HTH) = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8 P(THH) = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8 Now, we add the probabilities of these sequences together: P(exactly two heads) = P(HHT) + P(HTH) + P(THH) = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 3/8 So, the probability of getting exactly two heads when flipping a fair coin three times is 3/8 or 0.375.,The probability of getting exactly two heads is 3/8 or 0.375. Here's the reasoning behind this: 1. When flipping a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes for each flip: heads (H) or tails (T). 2. Flipping the coin three times will result in eight different combinations: HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, and TTT. 3. We want to find the probability of getting exactly two heads. There are three combinations that meet this condition: HHT, HTH, and THH. 4. To calculate the probability, we divide the number of successful outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes: 3 successful outcomes / 8 total outcomes = 3/8 or 0.375.,The probability of flipping a fair coin three times and getting exactly two heads is as follows: 1. First, H (head) or T (tail) can occur in any order. So there are 3! (3 factorial) ways to arrange the 3 flips, which is equal to 3 × 2 × 1 = 6 ways. 2. To get exactly two heads, there are two possibilities: H-H-T and H-T-H. 3. So, the probability of getting exactly two heads is the number of favorable outcomes (HHH and HHT) divided by the total outcomes (2H1T): 2 / 6 = 1/3, or 33.33%.
question:In a small village, there are 100 houses. Every house has at least one cat. If the first house has one cat, the second house has two cats, the third house has three cats, and so on until the last house which has 100 cats, how many cats are in the village?
answer:To find the total number of cats in the village, you can add the number of cats from each house up to the one with 100 cats: 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 100 This sequence is an arithmetic series, and the sum of an arithmetic series can be found using the formula: Sum = (n * (a1 + an)) / 2 where n is the number of terms (100 houses), a1 is the first term (1 cat), and an is the last term (100 cats). Plugging in the values, we get: Sum = (100 * (1 + 100)) / 2 Sum = (100 * 101) / 2 Sum = 5050 So, there are 5050 cats in total in the village.,There are 5,050 cats in the village. Here's the reasoning behind this: 1. We know that each house has a number of cats equal to its position in the sequence (e.g., the first house has one cat, the second house has two cats, etc.). 2. To find the total number of cats in the village, we need to add up all the numbers from 1 to 100. 3. This can be done using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: n(n + 1)/2, where n is the number of terms in the series (in this case, 100). 4. Plugging in the values, we get: 100(100 + 1)/2 = 100(101)/2 = 5050. 5. Therefore, there are 5,050 cats in the village., There are 5,050 cats in the village. Here's the logic behind this: 1. We know that each house has a number of cats equal to its position in the sequence (e.g., the first house has one cat, the second house has two cats, etc.). 2. To find the total number of cats in the village, we need to add up all the numbers from 1 to 100. 3. This can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: n(n+1)/2, where n is the number of terms in the series. 4. In this case, n equals 100, so we have: 100(100+1)/2 = 100*101/2 = 5050. 5. Therefore, there are 5,050 cats in the village.
question:If you stacked one million US dollar bills, how tall would the stack be in feet?
answer:A single US dollar bill has a thickness of about 0.0043 inches. To find the height of a stack of one million dollar bills, we can multiply the thickness of one bill by the total number of bills: Height in inches = Thickness of one bill * Number of bills = 0.0043 inches * 1,000,000 = 4,300 inches Now, we need to convert this height from inches to feet. There are 12 inches in one foot, so: Height in feet = Height in inches / Inches per foot = 4,300 inches / 12 inches per foot = 358.33 feet So, a stack of one million US dollar bills would be approximately 358.33 feet tall., A single US dollar bill has a thickness of about 0.0043 inches (0.0109 cm). To find out how tall a stack of one million dollar bills would be, we first need to determine the total thickness of the stack. Thickness of one million dollar bills = Number of bills * Thickness of one bill = 1,000,000 * 0.0043 inches/bill ≈ 4,300 inches Now, let's convert this thickness into feet. We know that there are 12 inches in a foot: Thickness in feet = Thickness in inches / Inches per foot = 4,300 inches / 12 inches/foot ≈ 358.33 feet So, a stack of one million US dollar bills would be approximately 358.33 feet tall.,If you stacked one million US dollar bills, the stack would be approximately 40,000 inches tall. To convert inches to feet, we divide by the number of inches in a foot (12 inches), so 40,000 inches divided by 12 inches per foot gives you 3,333.33 feet. However, this calculation does not account for the thickness of the bills, which would actually make the stack slightly taller.
question:If a car rental company has 50 cars and rents them out at an average rate of 40 per day, how much revenue will they generate in one month if their occupancy rate is 75%?
answer:To calculate the total revenue generated by the car rental company, we first need to determine the number of occupied cars per day based on the occupancy rate. Occupancy rate = Cars rented out / Total cars 75% occupancy rate = Cars rented out / 50 Cars rented out = 75% * 50 = 37.5 Since we can't have half a car, we'll round down to the nearest whole number (37 cars). Now we'll calculate the average revenue per day for the occupied cars: Revenue per day = Cars rented out * Average daily rate = 37 cars * 40/day = 1480/day Next, we need to find out how many days are in a month. Assuming a month has 30 days, the total revenue for one month would be: Total revenue for a month = Revenue per day * Days in a month = 1480/day * 30 days = 44,400 So, the car rental company will generate approximately 44,400 in revenue in one month with a 75% occupancy rate.,To calculate the total revenue generated by the car rental company, we first need to determine the number of rented cars based on the occupancy rate. Number of rented cars = Total cars * Occupancy rate = 50 cars * 0.75 = 37.5 cars Since it's not possible to rent half a car, let's round up to 38 cars being rented. Next, we need to find out how many days are in the month. For simplicity's sake, let's assume there are 30 days in the month. Now, we can calculate the daily revenue: Daily revenue = Number of rented cars * Rental rate per day = 38 cars * 40/day = 1,520 Finally, we can calculate the monthly revenue: Monthly revenue = Daily revenue * Days in the month = 1,520 * 30 = 45,600 So, the car rental company would generate approximately 45,600 in revenue for that month with a 75% occupancy rate., To calculate the total revenue generated by the car rental company in one month, we first need to determine the number of cars rented daily on average based on the 75% occupancy rate. Average cars rented per day = Total cars * Occupancy rate = 50 cars * 0.75 = 37.5 cars Since we cannot rent half a car, let's round up to 38 cars being rented daily (which is slightly more favorable to the revenue). Next, we'll calculate the daily revenue by multiplying the average number of cars rented per day by the average daily rental rate: Daily revenue = Average cars rented per day * Daily rental rate = 38 cars * 40/car = 1,520 Finally, to find the monthly revenue, we'll multiply the daily revenue by the number of days in a month. For simplicity's sake, let's assume there are 30 days in a month: Monthly revenue = Daily revenue * Days per month = 1,520 * 30 = 45,600 So, the car rental company would generate approximately 45,600 in revenue during a 30-day month with a 75% occupancy rate.
