Assuming boys and girls are equally​ likely, find the probability of a couple having a baby boyboy when their sixthsixth child is​ born, given that the first fivefive children were all boysall boys.

Answers

Answer 1
Doesn't matter what the first five are. The probability is always 1/2 for the next child. This is like tossing a coin. If you toss a coin 5 times and all the times are tails, what is the probability that the sixth time will be heads. If it's a fair coin, it's 1/2.
Answer 2

Answer:

50% probability of a couple having a baby boyboy when their sixth child is​ born, given that the first five were all boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each child, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a boy, or it is a girl. The probability of a child being a boy or a girl is independent of the other children. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

The conditional probability formula is also used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Find the probability of a couple having a baby boyboy when their sixth child is​ born, given that the first five children were all boys.

Event A: First five children being boys.

Event B: Sixth children being a boy.

P(A):

First five children being boys.

P(X = 5) when n = 5.

Equally likely to be boy or girl, so p = 0.5.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(A) = P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125[/tex]

Intersection:

Intersection between the first five children being boys and the sixth also being a boy, so [tex]P(X = 6)[/tex] when n = 6.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.5)^{6}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.015625[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.015625}{0.03125} = 0.5[/tex]

50% probability of a couple having a baby boyboy when their sixth child is​ born, given that the first five were all boys.

Explain the rules for multiplication and division to convert units. How do you know when to multiply and when to divide to convert untis of measurement?

Answers

Well, units divide and multiply just like numbers. That's why Area is in units of  distance squared (cm × cm = cm²) and volume is cubic distance (m × m × m = m³).

Likewise other mathematical operations can be performed on them, including division where they can cancel out of the equation.

For instance, a rate, speed, slope or conversion factor is usually one unit divided by another unit. Like so...

speed = 5 meters per second
[tex]= \frac{5m}{1sec} [/tex]

If you are given a distance traveled, let's say 100 meters and asked to solve for time it takes to get there. You would divide by the speed so that meters cancel leaving only time.

** Of course to divide by a fraction is to flip and multiply so really you're just multiplying by it, making sure the same units are diagonal and cancel out like so:

[tex]100 m * \frac{1sec}{5m} = 20 sec[/tex]

a rectangle that is 2 inches by 3 Inches has been scaled by factor of 7 suppose you want to scale the copy back to its original size what scale factor would you use?

Answers

It would be 1/7 since you essentially are dividing by 7 to cancel out the original scaling.

This is about transformation of objects.

Scale factor back to original size = 1/7

We are told that the rectangle was scaled by a factor of 7.

What this means is that if the length and width are x and y respectively, then the new scaled measurements will be;

7x and 7y.

Now,for us to scale back to the original size, all we need to do is to divide the new scale measurements by a factor of 7.

This means the original size will be;

Length = 7x × 1/7

Width = 7y × 1/7

Thus,the scale factor will be 1/7 back to the original size.

If the original 24 m edge length x of a cube decreases at the rate 5m/min, when x=3 at what rate does the cube's surface area change

Answers

let s be the surface area and t= time in minutes
s=6x²
d/dt(s)=d/dt(6x²)
ds/dt=12x(dx/dt)
given that x=3, then
ds/dt=12(3)(-5)
ds/dt=-180m²/min

b] Let the volume be v
v=x³
d/dt(v)=d/dt(x³)
dv/dt=3x²(dx/dt)
when x=3, then
dv/dt=3(3²)(-5)
dv/dt=-135m³/min
Final answer:

The change in the cube's surface area is -180 m^2/min when the edge length is 3 m. This is found by differentiating the surface area with respect to time and substituting the given values.

Explanation:

The subject of the question is related to rates of change in the context of the geometry of a cube. To address this problem, we use the formula for a cube's surface area, which is given by A = 6x^2, where x represents the length of an edge. If x changes with respect to time, we denote this change as dx/dt, which is given as -5m/min. You want to find how quickly the surface area, A, changes when x = 3.

First, let us differentiate the surface area A with respect to time t. By the chain rule of differentiation, dA/dt = dA/dx * dx/dt. Given A = 6x^2, dA/dx = 12x. substituting x=3 and dx/dt=-5, we find that dA/dt = 12*3*-5, which equals -180m^2/min.

Therefore, the change in the cube's surface area is -180 m^2/min when the edge length is 3 m.

a triangle has an area of 54 m2 and a height of 9m how long is the base of the triangle entered your answer in the box

Answers

Answer:
base of the triangle = 12 m

Explanation:
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
We are given that:
area = 54 m^2
height = 9 m

Substitute in the equation to get the base as follows:
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
54 = 1/2 * base * 9
108 = 9*base
base = 12 m

Hope this helps :)
The first thing you should know to solve this problem is that the definition of the area of the triangle is:
 A =(1/2)* b * h
 Where,

A chef uses 3 3/4 pounds of semolina flour and 1 5/8 pounds whole wheat flour for each batch of pasta she makes. One week she uses a total of 86 pounds of flour.
Write an equation to solve for b, the number of batches of pasta the chef makes during the week.
How many batches of pasta does she make? Show your work.

Answers

one batch = 3 3/4 + 1 5/8
one batch = 3 6/8 + 1 5/8
one batch = 4 11/8
one batch = 5 3/8 pound of flour

One week = 86 pound 
86 ÷  5 3/8  = 86 ÷   43/8
86 ÷  5 3/8  = 86 x   8/43
86 ÷  5 3/8  =16

She makes 16 batches of pasta

To find the number of batches of pasta, convert the amount of flour per batch to an improper fraction, create an equation based on the total flour used, and solve for the number of batches, which is 16.

To solve for b, the number of batches of pasta the chef makes during the week using a total of 86 pounds of flour:

First, convert the amounts of each flour from mixed numbers to improper fractions:

1 5/8 pounds = 13/8 pounds

Now add the two amounts together to get the total flour used per batch:

(15/4) + (13/8) = 30/8 + 13/8 = 43/8 pounds per batch

The equation to solve for b is:

(43/8) * b = 86

To find b:

b = 86 / (43/8)

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 43/8:

b = 86 * (8/43)

b = (86 * 8) / 43

Calculate the value of b:

b = 688 / 43

b = 16

x - 100 = -y²

100 -x = y²

Taking square root both sides and switching sides

y = ± [tex]\sqrt{100-x}[/tex].

Step3 ) : Replace y with [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex].

[tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] = ± [tex]\sqrt{100-x}[/tex].

"how few colors can be used so that each room is painted a color so in which no two adjacent rooms are the same color?"

Answers

We can see here that to guarantee that no two adjacent rooms are the same color, a minimum of four colors is generally needed.

To determine the minimum number of colors needed to paint each room in a way that no two adjacent rooms have the same color, we can use a coloring algorithm known as the "Four Color Theorem." According to this theorem, it is possible to color any map on a plane using at most four colors, ensuring that no two adjacent regions have the same color.

Applying this concept to the rooms, we can conclude that a minimum of four colors is needed to satisfy the given condition. By using these four colors, we can ensure that no two adjacent rooms share the same color.
