Suppose that each child born is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. Consider a family with exactly three children. Let BBG indicate that the first two children born are boys and the third child is a girl, let GBG indicate that the first and third children born are girls and the second is a boy, and so forth. (a) Use set-roster notation to describe the elements in the sample space whose outcomes are all possible genders of the three children. (b) Write each of the following events as a set, in set-roster notation, and find its probability. (i) the event that exactly one child is a girl set probability (ii) the event that at least two children are girls set probability (iii) the event that no child is a girl set probability

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)

[tex]S = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, GBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, BBB\}[/tex]

(b)

i.

[tex]1\ girl = \{GBB, BBG, BGB\}[/tex]

[tex]P(1\ girl) = 0.375[/tex]

ii.

[tex]Atleast\ 2 \ girls = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG\}[/tex]

[tex]P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = 0.5[/tex]

iii.

[tex]No\ girl = \{BBB\}[/tex]

[tex]P(No\ girl) = 0.125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Children = 3[/tex]

[tex]B = Boys[/tex]

[tex]G = Girls[/tex]

Solving (a): List all possible elements using set-roster notation.

The possible elements are:

[tex]S = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, GBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, BBB\}[/tex]

And the number of elements are:

[tex]n(S) = 8[/tex]

Solving (bi) Exactly 1 girl

From the list of possible elements, we have:

[tex]1\ girl = \{GBB, BBG, BGB\}[/tex]

And the number of the list is;

[tex]n(1\ girl) = 3[/tex]

The probability is calculated as;

[tex]P(1\ girl) = \frac{n(1\ girl)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]P(1\ girl) = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]P(1\ girl) = 0.375[/tex]

Solving (bi) At least 2 are girls

From the list of possible elements, we have:

[tex]Atleast\ 2 \ girls = \{GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG\}[/tex]

And the number of the list is;

[tex]n(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = 4[/tex]

The probability is calculated as;

[tex]P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = \frac{n(Atleast\ 2 \ girls)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = \frac{4}{8}[/tex]

[tex]P(Atleast\ 2 \ girls) = 0.5[/tex]

Solving (biii) No girl

From the list of possible elements, we have:

[tex]No\ girl = \{BBB\}[/tex]

And the number of the list is;

[tex]n(No\ girl) = 1[/tex]

The probability is calculated as;

[tex]P(No\ girl) = \frac{n(No\ girl)}{n(S)}[/tex]

[tex]P(No\ girl) = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]P(No\ girl) = 0.125[/tex]

The floor of a storage unit in the shape
of a rectangular prism has an area of 106 1/4 square feet. The height of the storage unit is 7 1/2 feet. What is the volume of the storage unit?
A. 742 1/8ft B. 744 1/4 ft C. 795 1/4 ft D. 796 7/8 ft

Answers

Answer:

V = 796 7/8 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The storage unit has a rectangular shape.

Thus, the volume is V = (area of floor)(height)

                                  V = (106 1/4 ft^2)(7 1/2 ft)

                                   V = 796 7/8 ft^3

Converting 106 1/4 ft to 106.25 makes it easier to use a calculator here.  Same with 7 1/2 ft:  7.5 ft

Answer:

This isn't really that hard... ∠A = 166°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because ∠A and ∠B are corresponding angles of a set of parallel lines, that means they are equal, so you can use this equation to solve for x:[tex]7x+40=3x+112[/tex] ⇒ [tex]4x=72[/tex] ⇒ [tex]x=18[/tex]. To find ∠A, just substitute x for 18 and you'll get that ∠A equals 7 * 18 + 40 = 126 + 40 = 166°.

Find the area of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

66cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown is actually a parallelogram

The area of a parallelogram can easily be calculated by multiplying the base length by the height

For this parallelogram the height given is 6 cm and the base length given is 11cm

so area = 6 * 11

6 * 11 = 66

hence the area of the parallelogram is 66cm²

answer: 66cm^2

QUESTION 10 of 10: You pay $1,000 for your insurance policy that covers up to $1 million in losses. If the insurance company just broke even
on similar policies, which of the following is closest to the odds the insurance company assumes for your making a claim of $1 million?
оооо
O a) 1 in 2
Ob) 1 in 5
c) 1 in 50
d) 1 in 1,000

Answers

Answer:

It's D - 1 in 1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the company breaks even, it collects $1,000,000 and pays out $1,000,000. If it collects $1,000 from each company, that means it sold $1,000,000 / $1,000 = 1,000 policies, and it paid out on one of them. This means the expected odds are 1 in 1,000.

The one which is closest to the odds the insurance company assumes for your claiming $1 million is 1 in 1000. Hence, option D is correct.

What are arithmetic operations?

The four basic operations of arithmetic can be used to add, subtract, multiply, or divide two or even more quantities.

They cover topics like the study of integers and the order of operations, which are relevant to all other areas of mathematics including algebra, data processing, and geometry.

As per the given data in the question,

If the business is profitable, it will receive $1,000,000 and spend $1,000,000.

If it receives $1,000 from each business, it has sold,

$1,000,000 / $1,000 = 1,000 policies, and one of them saw a payout.

This indicates that the likelihood is 1 in 1,000.
