two puppies are chosen at random from a box at the mall. what is the probability of these outcomes
1)2;a tail then a head
To find the probability of two specific outcomes occurring in sequence (in this case, a tail then a head), we need to consider the probabilities of each individual event and multiply them together.
Assuming the puppies are fair coins (with equal probability of getting a head or a tail), the probability of getting a tail on the first coin is 1/2, and the probability of getting a head on the second coin is also 1/2.
Therefore, the probability of getting a tail then a head is:
P(tail and then head) = P(tail) * P(head)
= 1/2 * 1/2
= 1/4
So, the probability of getting a tail then a head when choosing two puppies at random from the box is 1/4.
To determine the probability of this specific outcome, we need additional information. Specifically, we need to know the number of tails and heads in the box of puppies. Please provide that information in order to compute the probability.
a tail and a head ? from two puppies???
very strange!
