Flip a fair two sided coin 4 times. Find the probability the first or last flip is a tail.

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Flip a fair two sided coin 4 times, the probability the first or last flip is a tail is

P = (1/2) x 1 x 1 x (1/2) = 1/4

(The probability of getting tail in first flip = 1/2, in the 2nd and 3rd flip, tail and head are both accepted, the probability of getting tail in last flip = 1/2)

Hope this helps!

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
