The Patterson family has 3 kids, 1 boy and 2 girls. Suppose that for each birth, the probability of a boy birth is 1/2, and the probability of a girl birth is also 1/2. What is the fractional probability of having 1 boy and 2 girls, in any order, in a family's first 3 births?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Boys with B and Girls with G

[tex]P(B) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Required

Find the probability or having 1 boy 2 girls

Since the order is not important, the probability is calculated as follows;

[tex]Probability = P(B) * P(G) * P(G)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for P(B) and P(G)

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 2 *2}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Hence, the fractional probability is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]r=8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]r-7=1[/tex] add seven to both sides

[tex]r=1+7\\r=8[/tex]

Hope this helps

Answer:

The correct answer to this problem is r = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to remember that our goal is to get the variable (in this case, r) by itself on one side of the equation.  To do this, we have to get rid of the -7 on the left side of the equation.  Therefore, our first step is to add 7 to both sides of the equation.  This gives us:

r - 7 = 1

r - 7 + 7 = 1 + 7

r = 8

Thus, your answer is r = 8.

Answers

Answer:

no because it has 2 of the same x-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Someone please help me!!!!​

Answers

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Left side = 2 cos^2 ( π/4 - A/2) - 1

= 2 ( cos π/4  cos A/2 + sin π/4  sin A/2)^2 - 1

Now sin π/4 and cos π/4 = 1 /√2 so:

= 2 ( 1/√2 cos A/2 + 1/√2 sin A/2)^2 - 1

= 2  * 1/2( cos^2 A/2 + sin^2 A/2 + 2 sin A/2 cos A/2) - 1

But cos^2 a/2 + sin^2 A/2 = 1 so we have:

2 * 1/2( 1 +  2sin A/2 cos A/2) - 1

= 1  + 2 sin A/2 cos A/2 - 1

=  2 sin A/2 cos A/2

Using the identity 2 sin A cos A = sin 2A

2 sin A/2 cos A/2 = sin A  = right side.

So left side = right side and the identity is proved.

Answer:  see proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Double Angle Identity:  cos 2A = 2cos²A - 1

Use the Difference Identity:  cos (A - B) = cosA · cosB + sinA · sinB

Use the Unit Circle to evaluate:  cos (π/2) = 0   &     sin (π/2) = 1

Proof  LHS → RHS

[tex]\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 2\cos^2\bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{4}-\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)-1\\\\\\\text{Double Angle Identity:}\quad \cos2\bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{4}-\dfrac{A}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Simplify:}\qquad \qquad \qquad \quad \cos\bigg(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Difference Identity:}\qquad \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2}\cdot \cos A+\sin \dfrac{\pi}{2}\cdot \sin A\\\\\\\text{Unit Circle:}\qquad \qquad \qquad 0\cdot \cos A+1\cdot \sin A\\\\\\\text{Simplify:}\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \sin A[/tex]

Train - 90 miles / h

Alex covers 180 miles.

How many hours does Alex walk in the distance?

1. Calculate the distance Alex still has to travel.

 810 miles - 180 miles = 630 miles

2. We take into account the speed of the train to calculate how many hours Alex will cover the remaining distance.

90 miles .... 1 h

Answer: (1,-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point C on the coordinate plane has the coordinates (4,-2) after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 we will have to multiply the coordinates each by 1/4 to find the new coordinates.

So x =  4 * 1/4 = 1   Now the new x coordinate is 1  

-2 * 1/4 =  -2/4 = -1/2      Now the new coordinate for y is also -1/2

So we will now have the coordinates (1,-1/2)

One card is to be drawn from a deck of 52 cards.The deck includes four types of cards.Red heart, red stars , black triangles , black circles .Each type has 13 cards numbered 1-13.What is the probability of drawing a red one a, black three , or a six of hearts.Give your answer in the simplify form .

Answers

Answer:

1/26 ; 1/26 ; 1/52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A deck of 52 cards contains :

Red hearts, Red stars, black triangles, black circles

Each type of card is numbered from 1 - 13

Therefore,

Number of each type of card = 13, all numbered distinctly with digits between 1 - 13

Probability = (number of required outcomes / total number of possible outcomes)

If one card is drawn from the deck:

Probability of picking a red one :

This is either a red heart numbered 1 or a red red star numbered 1,

Therefore, Required outcomes = 2

Total possible outcomes = 52

P(a red one) = 2 / 52 = 1/26

B) A black three

This is either a black triangle numbered 1 or a black heart numbered 1,

Therefore, Required outcome = 2

Total possible outcomes = 52

P(a black three) = 2 / 52 = 1/26

C.) A six of hearts :

A hearts numbered six = 1

Therefore, Required outcome = 1

Total possible outcomes = 52

P(a black three) = 1 / 52 = 1/52

The midpoint of JK is M(8,9). One endpoint is J(10, 10). Find the coordinates of the other
endpoint K.
Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.
K= (1,7)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]K(6,8)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Midpoint, M = (8,9)

J = (10,10)

Required

Find K

The midpoint of segments is calculated using;

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})[/tex]

Where [tex]x = 8[/tex] and  [tex]y = 9[/tex]

Take J as J(x1,y1);

So:

[tex]x_1 = 10[/tex]     [tex]y_1 = 10[/tex]

Substitute values for x and y in the given formula

[tex](8,9) = (\frac{10 + x_2}{2}, \frac{10 + y_2}{2})[/tex]

Solving for x2, we have

[tex]8 = \frac{10 + x_2}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex]2 * 8 = \frac{10 + x_2}{2} * 2[/tex]

[tex]2 * 8 = 10 + x_2[/tex]

[tex]16 = 10 + x_2[/tex]

Make x2 the subject of formula

[tex]x_2 = 16 - 10[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 6[/tex]

Solving for y2

[tex]9 = \frac{10 + y_2}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex]2 * 9 = \frac{10 + y_2}{2} * 2[/tex]

[tex]2 * 9 = 10 + y_2[/tex]

[tex]18 = 10 + y_2[/tex]

Make y2 the subject of formula

[tex]y_2 = 18 - 10[/tex]

[tex]y_2 = 8[/tex]

So,

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (6,8)[/tex]

So, the coordinates of K is

[tex]K(6,8)[/tex]

Un globo vuela entre dos ciudades A y B, que distan entre sí 1.500 m. Los tripulantes del globo ven la ciudad A con un ángulo de depresión de 27°, mientras que para ver la ciudad B es de 36°.

Answers

Answer:

La altura del globo con respecto al suelo es 449,6 metros.

Step-by-step explanation:

La afirmación está incompleta. El enunciado completo es: "Un globo vuela entre dos ciudades A y B, que distan entre sí 1.500 m. Los tripulantes del globo ven la ciudad A con un ángulo de depresión de 27°, mientras que para ver la ciudad B es de 36°. ¿Cuál es la altura aproximada del globo con respecto al suelo?

El diagrama geométrico de la situación se encuentra descrita en el archivo adjunto. La altura aproximada del globo puede obtenerse con ayuda de las funciones trigonométricas, en este caso, se recomienda utilizar la función tangente de los ángulos de depresión:

Ciudad A

[tex]\tan 27^{\circ} = \frac{h}{1500\,m-x}[/tex]

[tex]0,510 = \frac{h}{1500\,m-x}[/tex]

Ciudad B

[tex]\tan 36^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x}[/tex]

[tex]0,727 = \frac{h}{x}[/tex]

Donde [tex]h[/tex] y [tex]x[/tex] son la altura con respecto al suelo y la distancia horizontal con respecto a la ciudad A.

A continuación, se elimina la altura de ambas ecuaciones por igualación y se determina la distancia horizontal del globo con respecto a la ciudad A:

[tex]0,727\cdot x = 0,510\cdot (1500\,m-x)[/tex]

[tex]1,237\cdot x = 765\,m[/tex]

[tex]x = 618,432\,m[/tex]

Finalmente, la altura del globo con respecto al suelo es:

[tex]h = 0,727\cdot x[/tex]

[tex]h = 0,727\cdot (618,432\,m)[/tex]

[tex]h = 449,600\,m[/tex]

La altura del globo con respecto al suelo es 449,6 metros.
