Find the probability that when a couple has four ​children, at least one of them is a boy. ​(Assume that boys and girls are equally​ likely.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that at least, one of the four children the couple has is a boy is 0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that boys and girls are equally likely, we want to find the probability of having at least, one boy, from four children..

Note that it is possible to have the following for 4 children:

1. 4 boys, 0 girls

2. 3 boys, 1 girl

3. 2 boys, 2 girls

4. 1 boy, 3 girls

5. 0 boys, 4 girls.

To have at least, one boy, out of the 5 options, only 4 is possible.

1. 4 boys, 0 girls.........YES

2. 3 boys, 1 girl ...........YES

3. 2 boys, 2 girls.........YES

4. 1 boy, 3 girls.............YES

5. 0 boys, 4 girls..........NO

The probability is therefore,

(Probability of event = 4) ÷ (Total possible outcome = 5)

P = 4/5 = 0.8

[tex]-1 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this number line, we can plot our original number - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] (see picture attached)

Adding a negative is the same thing as subtracting - so we are subtracting [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] from  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

To subtract this, we can break up [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  into 3 parts: 1, 1, and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. We can subtract each of these from the current number and see where we land up. (again see picture)

We land up at [tex]-1 \frac{3}{4}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, get the variable on one side of the equation - preferably the left for standard solution notation (for this equation, it is easier to place it on the right side to avoid negative values). Do this by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation. Then, subtract 11. Finally, divide by 4 and get the answer in terms of x.

Find the minimum sample size n needed to estimate for the given values of​ c, ​, and E. c​, ​, and E Assume that a preliminary sample has at least 30 members.

Answers

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Find the minimum sample size n needed to estimate μ For the given values of​ c, σ​, and E. c=0.98​, σ=6.5​, and E=22 Assume that a preliminary sample has at least 30 members.

Answer : 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

E = 2.2,

std ( σ ) = 6.5

c ( level of confidence ) = 0.98

To find the minimum sample size

we have to first obtain the value of  [tex]Z_{a/2}[/tex]  

note : a can be found using this relation :

( 1 - a ) = 0.98 ----- equation 1

a = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

hence:  a/2 = 0.01

This means that P( Z ≤ z ) = 0.99  the value of z can be found using the table of standard normal distribution. from the table the value of z = 2.33

P( Z ≤ 2.33 ) = 0.99

To obtain the sample size n

[tex]n = (\frac{std*z}{E} )^{2}[/tex]

n = [tex](\frac{6.5*2.33}{2.2} )^2[/tex] =  (6.88409)^2

Therefore n ≈ 48

M&M plain candies come in various colors. According to the M&M/Mars Department of Consumer Affairs, the distribution of colors for plain M&M candies is as follows. Color Purple Yellow Red Orange Green Blue Brown Percentage 22% 20% 23% 10% 6% 6% 13% Suppose you have a large bag of plain M&M candies and you choose one candy at random. (a) Find P(green candy or blue candy). Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why? Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible. Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible. No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible. No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible. (b) Find P(yellow candy or red candy). Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why? Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible. No. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is not possible. Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is not possible. No. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible. (c) Find P(not purple candy).

Answers

Answer:

A) 0.12. Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible

B) 0.43. Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible

C) 0.78

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the summation of the distribution of all colours is;

Σ(all colors ) = 22% + 20% + 23% + 10% + 6% + 6% + 13% = 100%, or 1.

Thus;

a) P(green candy or blue candy) is;

P(GREEN ∪ BLUE) = P(G) + P(BL)

P(GREEN ∪ BLUE) = 6%+6%

P(GREEN ∪ BLUE) = 12% or 0.12

Now, due to the fact that we have to choose ONE candy and only ONE candy at random, then they are mutually exclusive: Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible

b)P(yellow candy or red candy is;

P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = P(Y) + P(R)

P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = 20% + 23% = 43% or 0.43

Yes. Choosing a yellow and red M&M is possible

c) P(NOT PURPLE)

the probability of having a purple is;

P(PURPLE) = 22% or 0.22

So, the Probability of NOT having a PURPLE is 1 - 0.22 = 0.78

a rectangular plot has 17m length and 14m width. What will be the cost of fencing at a rate of Rs.25 per meter​

Answers

The fence would be the perimeter of the shape.

Perimeter = 17 + 17 + 14 + 14 = 62 meters.

Multiply the price per meter by total meters:

25 x 62 = 1550

For fencing , we have to find the perimeter of rectangle.

[tex] \large\begin{gathered} {\underline{\boxed{ \rm {\red{Formula \: \: Using \: = \: 2 \: ( \: L + B \: )}}}}}\end{gathered}[/tex]

L denotes length of rectangleB denotes breadth of rectangle

L = 17 mB = 14 m

Substuting the values

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( L + B )

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( 17 m + 14 m )

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( 31 m )

Perimeter of rectangle = 62 m.

Hence, the perimeter of rectangle is 62 m.

For Fencing Cost = perimeter × rate of fencing per metre

Fencing Cost = 62 × 25

Fencing cost = 1,550

Hence, the cost of fencing of a rectangular plot is 1,550

The base of the triangle is​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area of a triangle:

Height x Base /2

Base (b) = h +4

Height = h

h + 4 x h /2 = 30cm

=> h+4h =60

=> 5h = 60

=> h = 12

Height = 12

Base = 12 +4 = 16

On the maturity date of a $10,800, 6-month, 8% note, the borrower sends a check that includes the principal and all of the interest due on the note. What is the amount of the borrower's check?​

Answers

Answer: $ 11,232.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Amount = $ 10,800

Interest Rate = 8%   =0.08

Time in Months= 6.00

Formula :

Interest on Note = (Amount)× (Interest Rate) × ((Time in Months) /12)

= (10800)× (0.08)× (6/12)

= $432

The amount of the borrower's check =(Amount + Interest on Note)

= $ (10,800+432)

= $ 11,232.00

Hence, The amount of the borrower's check = $ 11,232.00

Answers

Answer:

a) Your answer for part a (I got 3/28) is wrong.

Odds are always expressed as ratios after calculating. Therefore, the odds in favour of receiving a gift = 3:22

b) Your answer in part b(I got 7/9) is correct.

The probability of the box having a toy is 7/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above has to do with odds and probability.

It is important to note that odds are expressed in the form of ratios while probabilities are expressed as fractions.

a) At a certain charity fundraiser, some guests will be randomly selected to receive a gift. The probability of receiving a gift is 3/25. Find the odds in favor of receiving a gift.(I got 3/28)

The formula for calculating odds from probability is Odds = Probability / (1 - Probability).

Probability = 3/25

Odds =(3/25)/(1 - 3/25)

= (3/25)/22/25

= 3/25 ÷ 22/25

= 3/25 × 25/22

= 3/22

Note that odds are always expressed as ratios.

Therefore, the odds in favour of receiving a gift = 3:22

Your answer for part a (I got 3/28) is wrong.

The correct answer is 3:22

b) A child has a box of candies which might have a toy inside. The odds against the box having a toy are 7/2. What is the probability of the box having a toy? I got 7/9.

The formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1).

Odds = 7/2 or 7:2

We convert the odds to fraction when calculating

Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1).

Probability = (7/2)/ (7/2 + 1)

Probability = (7/2)/9/2

Probability = 7/2 ÷ 9/2

= 7/2 × 2/9

= 7/9

Probability is always expressed as a fraction.

Therefore, the probability of the box having a toy is 7/9.

Your answer in part b(I got 7/9) is correct.

A bus averages 2 miles per hour faster than a motorcycle. If the bus travels 165 miles in the same time it takes the motorcycle to travel 155 miles, then what is the speed of each?

Answers

Answer:

The bus travels at 33 miles per hour while the motorcycle travels at 31 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the bus average speed with x and the motorcycle average speed with y

Given

[tex]x = y + 2[/tex]

Distance covered by bus = 165 miles

Distance covered by motorcycle in same time = 155 miles

Required

Determine the speed of each

Average Speed is calculated as;

[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Since the two are measured with the same time, represent time with T

For the bus

[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex] becomes

[tex]x = \frac{165}{T}[/tex]

Make T the subject of formula

[tex]T = \frac{165}{x}[/tex]

For the motorcycle

[tex]y = \frac{155}{T}[/tex]

Make T the subject of formula

[tex]T = \frac{155}{y}[/tex]

Since, T = T; we have that

[tex]\frac{165}{x} = \frac{155}{y}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]165y = 155x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = y + 2[/tex]

[tex]165y = 155(y+2)[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]165y = 155y - 310[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]165y - 155y = 310[/tex]

[tex]10y = 310[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex]y = 31[/tex]

Recall that [tex]x = y + 2[/tex]

[tex]x = 31 +2[/tex]

[tex]x = 33[/tex]

Hence;

The bus travels at 33 miles per hour while the motorcycle travels at 31 miles per hour
