A family has four children. What is the probability that two children are girls and two are boys? Assume the the probability of having a boy (or a girl) is 50%.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:The first issue one most notice is the words “at least” We are trying to find the probability of at least 2 girls.

The five possible outcomes for girls are 0,1,2,3,4. The odds of 1 girl out of 4 is .25 and the odds of 1 boy out of 4 is .25 (same as the odds of 3 out of 4 girls). Therefore the odds of 1 OR 3 girls must be .5 because 1 girl and 3 girls each has a .25 probability. If the probability of (1 OR 3 girls) equals .5, then the probability of 2 girls must be a different number.

The probability of 2 or more girls, is the sum of the probability of 4 girls (.06125)(—-.5 to the 4th power—— ), plus the probability of 3 girls (.25)——(the same as the probability of 1 boy)—- plus the probability of 2 girls. Since we know the probability of zero boys is .0625 (again, .5 to the 4th power) and the probability of 1 boy is .25 (the same as the probability of 3 girls )———then the probability of 2 girls is ((1 minus (the sum of the probability of 0 OR 1 boys) plus the (sum of the probability of 3 or 4 girls)), or 1-((.0625+.25)+(.0625+.25)), or .375. We had to derive the probability of two from the other known probabilities. Therefore .375+.25+.0625=.6875 is the probability of both AT LEAST 2 girls and also NO MORE than 2 boys. Notice this adds up to 1.375 because the probability of the central number 2 (i.e., .375) appears on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to travel form Tamaulipas to Sorona. The first if the direct route from Sorona to Tamaulipas which is 809mi. The another route is to travel to Colima from Sorona and then travel to Tamaulipas from Colima. This is the long distance routes in which there are two destination points. The direct route is shorter in length therefore preferable.

the perimeters of two squares are 60 meters and 144 meters respectively. find the perimeter of another square equal in area to the sum of the first two squares

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of first square = 4 × side = 60 m

∴ side = 60/4 = 15 m

so area = s × s = 15 × 15 = 225 m^2

perimeter of second square = 4 × side = 144 m

∴ side = 144/4 = 36 m

so area = s × s = 36 × 36 = 1296 m^2

Perimeter of the third square = sum of areas of the first and second triangle

= 225 + 1296

= 1521 m

hope this helps

plz mark as brainliest!!!!!

Answer:

Perimeter of new square =  156 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First square:

 Perimeter = 60 m

 4 * side = 60 m

side = 60/4

side = 15 m

Area of first square = side * side = 15 * 15 = 225 m²

Second square:

 Perimeter = 144 m

 4 * side = 144 m

side = 144/4

side = 36 m

Area of second square = side * side = 36 * 36 = 1296 m²

New square:

Area of new square = area of first square + area of second square

                                  = 225 + 129

Area of new square = 1521 m²

   side * side = 1521

    side = √1521 = √39*39

     side = 39 m

Perimeter of new square = 4 * 39 = 156 m

A travel agent is booking trips for tourists who travel from New York to Chicago. Tourists have three choices for how to travel from New York to Chicago. They can take an airplane for $350, a bus for $150, or a train for $225. Once they arrive in Chicago, they can travel by van to their hotel for $60 or take a cab for $40. If each option is equally likely to occur, what is the probability that a tourist will spend more than $300 on these 2 legs of the trip?

Answers

List all the different combinations with total cost:

Airplane  + van = 350 + 60 = $410

Airplane  + cab = 350 + 40 = $390

Bus + van = 150 + 60 = $210

Bus + cab = 150 + 40 = $190

Train + van = 225 + 60 = $285

Train + cab = 225 + 40 = $265

There are 6 different combinations.

There are 2 that are more than $300

The probability would be quantity higher than 300 / total combinations.

Answers

Answer: You are correct, it is the second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder formula is: pi*r^2*h. The diameter is 6 and the radius is half the diameter so we get r=3. The height is 10 inches, so h=10. pi(3)^2(10) is the volume of the vase.

Volume of a sphere (marbles) formula is: 4/3*pi*r^3

The marbles have a diameter of 3 so 3/2=1.5. r=1.5.

The volume of the marbles is 8(4/3*pi*1.5^3).

Then you subtract the volume of the marbles from the volume of the vase to find the volume of the water in the vase.

pi(3)^2(10) - 8(4/3pi(1.5)^3)

Hope this helps. :)

Answer:

You are absolutely correct, second option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of vase = 6 inches

Therefore, radius r = 3 inches

Diameter of marbles = 3 inches

Radius of marbles = 1. 5 inches

Height of water h = 10 inches

Volume of water in the vase = Volume of vase - 8 times the volume of one marble

[tex] = \pi r^2h - 8\times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \\\\

= \pi (3\: in) ^2(10\: in) - 8( \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.5\: in) ^3) \\\\[/tex]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole circunference is 360° from a central angle

so from an inscribed angle is 180°

so the inscribed angles that support those arc together must add to 180°

120°+b=180

b=60

What is quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax²+bx+c=0. with a ≠ 0 .

The discriminant of a quadratic equation in standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0, is given by the expression b² - 4ac.

The given equation is -2x² = -8x+8

a = -2, b = 8, and c = -8.

Substituting these values into the formula for the discriminant, we get:

b² - 4ac = (8)² - 4(-2)(-8)

= 64 - 64

= 0

Therefore, the discriminant is equal to 0.

When the discriminant is equal to 0, it means that the quadratic equation has one real number solution (a double root) because the quadratic formula will give only one root.

Hence,  the discriminant is equal to 0, the equation -2x² = -8x + 8 has one real number solution.

Answers

Answer:

1) Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x

2)Combine 3.5 and 7.56

3)Subtract 11.06 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 + 1.2(6.3 - 7x) = 9.38

Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x

3.5 + 1.2* 6.3 - 1.2 * 7x = 9.38

        3.5 + 7.56 - 8.4x = 9.38

Combine 3.5 and 7.56

11.06 - 8.4x = 9.38

Subtract 11.06 from both sides

11.06 - 8.4x -11.06 = 9.38 - 11.06

                    -8.4x = -1.68

To find solution:

Divide both sides by (-8.4)

-8.4x/-8.4 = -1.68/-8.4

Answer:

m∠C = 102°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is is a cyclic quadrilateral

• The sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to 180°

m∠D + m∠B = 180°

m∠B = 180° - m∠D

m∠B = 180° - 80°

m∠B = 100°

If you look at the above diagram properly, you will notice there are are angles outside the circle. We refer to this an exterior or external angles in a cyclic quadrilateral

• Note that m∠B is Opposite the exterior angle m∠CDA

Hence,

m∠CDA = 2 × m∠B

m∠CDA = 2 × 100°

m∠CDA = 200°

• m∠CDA = m∠CD + m∠DA

m∠DA = m∠CDA - m∠CD

m∠DA = 200° - 116°

m∠DA = 84°

• Another external angle we need to find is m∠DAB

m∠DAB = m∠DA + m∠AB

We know that m∠DA = 84°, therefore,

m∠DAB = 84° + 120°

m∠DAB = 204°

• The final step is to solve for m∠C

m∠DAB is Opposite m∠C

Hence

m∠C = 1/2 × m∠DAB

m∠C = 1/2 × 204

m∠C = 102°
