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

Answers

Answer 1
Consider this option (2 ways for this):
1. Probability=1-[probability_all_boys].
for [probability_all_boys]=1/[all_possible_combinations];
for [all_combinations]=2³=8. It means that 
Probability=1-(1/8)=7/8=0.875.
2. Probability=[needed_cases]\[all_possible_cases];
all possible combinations are:
bbb;ggg;bgg;bgb;bbg;gbg;gbb;ggb; - (where 'g' - girl, 'b' - boy) total 8.
needed cases: ggg;bgg;bgb;bbg;gbg;gbb;ggb, - total 7.
Probability=7/8=0.875
Answer 2

Final answer:

The probability of having at least one girl when a couple has three children can be found by calculating the probability of having all boys and subtracting it from 1.

Explanation:

Probability that at least one child is a girl:

Find the probability of having all boys: (1/2)³ = 1/8

Subtract this from 1 to get the probability of having at least one girl: 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Here we have right-angle triangle. Sides are:
AB = 19+x
BC= x
AC= 30

From the picture we can see that side AB is hypothenuze. We are given number 19 as part of length of that hypothenuze. Other part is equal to distance from center to edge of circle. This length is same as side BC.

We will use Pythagorean theorem to solve this:
[tex] (AB)^{2} = (BC)^{2} + (AC)^{2} \\ (19+x)^{2} = x^{2} + 30^{2} \\ 361+38x+ x^{2} = x^{2} +900 \\ x^{2} - x^{2} +38x=900-361 \\ 38x=539 \\ x=14.2yard[/tex]

If you take out a loan that costs $130.50 over nine years at an interest rate of 10%, how much was the loan for?

Answers

Final answer:

The original loan amount for which the final amount payable is $130.50 over nine years at an interest rate of 10% was approximately $55.39.

Explanation:

To find out the original amount of the loan for which the final amount payable is $130.50 over nine years at an interest rate of 10%, we will use the formula for the present value of a loan.

The formula given is P = A / (1 + r/n)^nt, where P is the principal (initial loan amount), A is the final amount, r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is borrowed for in years.

As the question doesn't specify how many times the interest is compounded per year, we will assume it is compounded once a year (n=1).

We have:

A = $130.50,r = 10% or 0.10,n = 1,t = 9 years.

Plugging these values into the formula:

P = $130.50 / (1 + 0.10/1)^(1*9)

P = $130.50 / (1 + 0.10)^9

P = $130.50 / (1.10)^9

P = $130.50 / 2.35794769

P = $55.39 approximately

Therefore, the original loan amount was approximately $55.39.

8. The U.S. population was 309 million in 2010. If the U.S. had had the same firearm death rate as Australia in 2010, how many firearm deaths would the U.S. have expected to have that year? Australia’s population was 22.3 million people in 2010. Australia had 236 firearm deaths in 2010. (round to the nearest person)

Answers

To answer this question I would use ratios . I would set this up as 236 deaths/22.3 million people = x number of deaths/ 309 million people. You could use cross products to solve for x. 309 x 236= 22.3x. 72924= 22.3x. Divide both sides by 22.3 to solve for X, or the number of deaths in the US. X = 3270 deaths. Another way to figure this out would be to figure out how many groups of 22.3 million Australian people there are in 309 million Americans. This factor would then be multiplied by 236 to get the number of deaths in the United States. The answer would be the same.

As per linear equation, in 2010 the expected firearm death U.S. had is 3270.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation represents an equation that has one or multiple variables with the highest power of the variable is 1.

Australia’s population was 22.3 million people in 2010.

Australia had 236 firearm deaths in 2010.

Therefore, portion of Australian population had firearm deaths is

[tex]= \frac{236}{22.3(10)^{6} } \\= 0.000011[/tex]

The U.S. population was 309 million in 2010.

Therefore, the expected firearm deaths in U.S. in 2010 was

If the expected value of the first draw from the jar is $5.8, the value of x is__
At one point in the contest, the jar contains 3 slips for $5, 7 slips for $3, and y slips for $x. If the expected value on the next draw is $6, the value of y is __

Answers

Part 2:


We'll use x = 9 from part 1.


Again let,
A = event that the $5 reward is drawn
B = event that the $3 reward is drawn
C = event that the $x reward is drawn (x is some positive number)

We can update event C to say
C = event that the $9 reward is drawn


The probabilities change to
P(A) = 3/(10+y)
P(B) = 7/(10+y)
P(C) = y/(10+y)
where y is some positive whole number. It represents the number of slips in jar C


The net values are
V(A) = 5
V(B) = 3
V(C) = x = 9


Like before, multiply the probabilities and net values to get
P(A)*V(A) = (3/(10+y))*5 = 15/(10+y)
P(B)*V(B) = (7/(10+y))*3 = 21/(10+y)
P(C)*V(C) = (y/(10+y))*9 = (9y)/(10+y)


The results add up to
[ 15/(10+y) ] + [ 21/(10+y) ] + [ (9y)/(10+y) ]
(15+21+9y)/(10+y)
(36+9y)/(10+y)


That last expression is the expected value. The expected value is also given to be 6, so set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for y.
(36+9y)/(10+y) = 6
36+9y = 6(10+y)
36+9y = 6(10)+6(y)
36+9y = 60+6y
9y-6y = 60-36
3y = 24
3y/3 = 24/3
y = 8


The statement "y slips of $x" turns into "8 slips of $9" since x = 9 and y = 8.

The credit card company charges 1.6% per month. What finance charge will you have to pay for one month?

Answers

For numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 you just need to remember this formula:

P = r x b
where: P = Percentage (Portion)
            r = rate
            b = base amount

1. Your given for number 1 is as follows:

rate = 8%
Base amount = $25.25

You are looking for how much you would pay in total. First you need to find out how much your going to pay in taxes, based on the base amount. To get that, you need to convert the rate in its decimal form by dividing it by 100. 

rate = 8/100 = 0.08

Next you need to find how much you will pay in taxes, you can do that by using the formula: 

P = r x b
   = 0.08 x $25.25
   = $2.02  This is how much you will pay in taxes. 

To get the total amount you will pay, just add it to the original price:

$25.25 + $2.02 = $27.27

2. Your given will be:
p = 20
b = 25
r = ?

All you have to do is input what you know in the formula:

P = r x b
20 = r x 25

Transpose the 25 to the other side of the equation to get the rate and divide:

20/25 = r
0.8   = r
 
For this case it is asking for the rate in percent, all you need to do is multiply your computed rate by 100% and you will get 80%.

3. If your given would be:

P = $42.00
r = 70%
b = ?

Base is the unknown here, because you are looking for the original price. So we put this into our equation again:

$42.00 = 0.70 x b

Transpose the 0.70 to the other side of the equation again and divide:

$42.00/0.70 = $60.00

The original price was $60.00

4. The given would be:

P = ?
r = 7% or 0.07
b = $42,000

We are looking for how much he got, or the portion he got, so we are looking for the percentage. Input what you know into our formula:

P = 0.04 x $42,000
  =  $2,940.00

6. Your given would be as follows:
P = ?
r = 1.6% or 0.016
b = $800

You are looking for how much you would pay in finance charge, or the portion that will be added, based on your base amount so you will be looking for the percentage. Input your given into the formula:

P = 0.016 x $800
   = $12.80

A circular city park has a sidewolk directly through the rmiddle that is 111- feet long. I each bag of fertilizer covers 50 square feet, then determine how many bags of tertilizer the Parks and Recreation department needs to use to cover the circular park. Ignore oll the sidewalks around and through the park.

Answers

The area of a circle with a diameter of 111 ft is
.. A = (π/4)d^2
.. = (π/4)*(111 ft)^2 ≈ 9676.9 ft^2

The number of bags of fertilizer required will be
.. (9676.9 ft^2)*(1 bag)/(50 ft^2) = 193.5 bags

Parks & Rec needs to use 193.5 bags of fertilizer to cover the park.

_____
No doubt, P&R has half a bag left over from a previous use of fertilizer in the park, so they will not have to purchase a whole bag to cover the fraction.

3/4,19/20,1/6,3/5,8/15 what is lcd

Answers

You just have to find the lcm or least common factors of the denominators which is 60.
The least common multiple of denominators
.. 4 = 2^2
.. 5
.. 6 = 2*3
.. 15 = 3*5
.. 20 = 2^2*5
is 2^2*3*5 = 60

The lowest common denominator is 60.

Can you answer this one for my plz I need before Monday ty

Answers

Since you need the vertex, and knowing the vertex will tell you the axis of symmetry, it is convenient to put the equation in vertex form.
.. -x^2 -4x +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x) +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x +(4/2)^2) +1 -(-(4/2)^2) . . . . complete the square
.. = -(x +2)^2 +5

The vertex is (-2, 5).
The axis of symmetry is x = -2.

A triangle has one 60 degree angle and one 20 degree angle. The third angle in the triangle must be
a.acute
b.obtuse
c.commplementary
d.straight

Answers

The 3rd angle has to be b. obtuse because a triangle's angles must add to 180°. 20° and 60° add to 80, and you must have a 100° for them to add to 180°. Any angle above 90° is known as an obtuse angle, so that's your answer.

The percentage of high school students who drink and drive stood at 17.5% at the beginning of 2001 and declined linearly to 10.3% at the beginning of 2011.† (a) find a linear function f(t) giving the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in year t, where t = 0 corresponds to the beginning of 20

Answers

1) The linear function : f(t) = -0.72t + 17.5

2) When t = 14 the value is 7.42

Part A

For this case we have the following information given:

t= 2001 (0) f(0)= 17.5%

t= 2011 (10) f(10)= 10.3

Slope= [tex]\frac{10.3-17.5}{10-0}[/tex]

10.3 = -0.72*10 +b

b= 10.3 +10*0.72

= 17.5

Then the equation is:

f(t) = -0.72t + 17.5

Part B

For 2015 the value of t = 2015-2001

= 14

Substitute in function,

f(14)= -0.72×14 + 17.5

= 7.42

Complete question:

The percentage of high school students who drink and drive was 17.5% at the beginning of 2001 and declined linearly to 10.3% at the beginning of 2011.†(a) Find a linear function f(t) giving the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in year t, where t = 0 corresponds to the beginning of 2001.f(t) = (b) If the trend continued, what was the percentage of high school students who drank and drove at the beginning of 2015? %

Final answer:

To find the linear function that represents the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in a given year, we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. We can determine the slope and y-intercept by using the given data points. The linear function is f(t) = -0.82%t + 17.5%.

Explanation:

To find a linear function f(t) giving the percentage of high school students who drink and drive in year t, we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is y = mx + b. In this case, y represents the percentage of students who drink and drive, and t represents the year. We know that at the beginning of 2001 (t=0), the percentage was 17.5%, and at the beginning of 2011 (t=10), the percentage was 10.3%. Using this information, we can find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of the linear function.

Step 1: Calculate the slope (m):

m = (y2 - y1) / (t2 - t1) = (10.3% - 17.5%) / (10 - 0) = -0.82% per year.

Step 2: Substitute one of the points and the slope into the slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept (b). Using the point (0, 17.5%):

17.5% = -0.82%(0) + b

b = 17.5%.

Therefore, the linear function f(t) is: f(t) = -0.82%t + 17.5%.
