Could you help me with this? If there are penny, nickel and a dime are tossed what are the outcome for eact event? Pls help, Thank you.
1/3 for each coin.
hmm...care to explain further?
the likelihood of a heads or tails for each separate event: P, N, and D is 1/2 since there are two sides to a coin.
i'm not sure if the q is asking something about a combination of the events.
Of course! When you toss a penny, a nickel, and a dime, each coin has two possible outcomes: it can either land on heads or on tails.
To find the outcome for each coin, you can use the probability formula. The probability of an event happening is calculated by counting the number of favorable outcomes and dividing it by the total number of possible outcomes.
Let's break it down for each coin:
1. Penny: The penny has two possible outcomes, heads or tails. Therefore, the probability of the penny landing on either heads or tails is 1 out of 2. So the outcome for the penny is 1/2 or 0.5.
2. Nickel: Just like the penny, the nickel also has two possible outcomes, heads or tails. So the probability of the nickel landing on either heads or tails is also 1 out of 2. Hence, the outcome for the nickel is also 1/2 or 0.5.
3. Dime: Once again, the dime has two possible outcomes, heads or tails. Therefore, the probability of the dime landing on either heads or tails is 1 out of 2. So the outcome for the dime is also 1/2 or 0.5.
In summary, the outcome for each coin is 1/2 or 0.5, which means each coin has an equal chance of landing on either heads or tails.
