A researcher is exploring the notion that there is an economy of scale in raising children. While having one child might add to a family's financial stress, the second or third one might not be as "expensive" since they would already be sharing one roof, could share clothing, etc. The researcher has access to a large community of parents where 15% have one child under 18 in their home, 65% of parents have two children, and 20% of parents have three or more children. Rounded to the nearest whole number, the probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home is ________ %?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home is 85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is as follows:

Number of Children        Probability

             1                            0.15

             2                            0.65

          > 3                            0.20

Compute the probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home as follows:

P (At least 2 Children) = P (2 children) + P (More than 3 children)

                                   = 0.65 + 0.20

                                   = 0.85

Thus, the probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home is 85%.

1. You are eating on a Tootsie Roll Lollipop that is in the shape of a sphere. It is giving up volume at a steady rate of 0.25 in3 /min. How fast will the radius be decreasing when the Tootsie Roll Pop is .75 inches across?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Tootsie Roll lollipop is a sphere

volume of sphere= [tex]\frac{4}{3}piR^3[/tex] = -0.25 [tex]in^3/min[/tex]

the negative sign indicates that the volume is decreasing

upon differentiating

as the diameter given is =0.75 so radius will be = 0.375

[tex]dV/dt = 4piR^2*dR/dt[/tex]

so [tex]dR/dt = 0.25/4*3.14 *(0.375)^2[/tex]

So the radius is decreasing at the rate of dR/dt= 0.142in/min

(B) Graph F(x) for 0 < x s 15
(C) Find lim x--->10 F(x), lim x--->10F(x), and lim x--->10F(x), which- ever exist.

Answer:

A)  F(x) = 50 + ( x - 10 )*9  

B) Graph

C) lim ( x ⇒ 10) F(x) = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

A) F(x) = 50 + ( x - 10 )*9       since the first 10 hours are included in initial fee

B) In Annex

C) lim (x ⇒ 10) F(x) = 50 + ( 10 -10)*9

lim ( x ⇒ 10) F(x) = 50 + 0

lim ( x ⇒ 10) F(x) = 50

what is 4/6+2/3.?(these are fractions, you're just adding fractions)

Answers

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 by 2, and get 4, then we multiply 3 by 2 and get 6.

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 4 + 4 = 8. That gives us the sum, which is 8/6. Then you divide by 2.  So 8/6 / 2 gives you 4/3.

Answer:

4/3 or 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4/6 + 2/3

2. 4/6 + 4/6          You have to find the LCM (least common multiple) of the two  denominators. In this case it would be 6. You have to multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. What you do to the bottom you also do to the top so you have to also multiply the numerator (2) by 2.

3. 4/3 or 1 1/3       Afterward, you just have to add straight across without changing the denominator and then if you need to simplify you simplify. Without simplifying, you would get 8/6, but, most teachers will mark it as wrong if you don't simplify. You can then change the improper fraction into a mixed number depending on what your teacher wants.

A TV show has 26 episodes. Due to the lack of time, you can onlywatch 5 of them. However, in order to get a gist of what the showis about, you do not want to watch any two consecutive episodes.How many selections of 5 episodes are there with no two consecutiveepisodes chosen? Assuming that the order of selection is irrelevant.(Hint:this is a Stars and Bars problem)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that: The number of combination to select any k consecutive element from n consecutive term is given by the equation [tex]^{n-k+1}C_k[/tex]

[tex]= \begin {pmatrix} ^{n-k+1}_{k} \end {pmatrix}[/tex]

where:

n = 26

k = 5

[tex]^{n-k+1}C_k= \begin {pmatrix} ^{26-5+1}_{5} \end {pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]^{n-k+1}C_k= \begin {pmatrix} ^{22}_{5} \end {pmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]^{n-k+1}C_k= \dfrac{22!}{5!(22-5)!}[/tex]

[tex]^{n-k+1}C_k= \dfrac{22!}{5!(17)!}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{^{n-k+1}C_k=26334}[/tex]

Therefore, there are 26334 selection of 5 episodes with no two consecutive episodes chosen

Answers

Answer:

2x-10 = 65-x

Step-by-step explanation:

just add up both alternate internal angles as they are both equal

so, the equation is: 2x-10 = 65-x

Answer:

The right equation will be 2x - 10 = 65 - x (you were wrong lol)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have: 2x - 10 = 65 - x

=> 2x - 10 + x = 65

=> 3x = 65 + 10 = 75

=> x = 75/3 = 25

The answer is 150.
I need to show my work.

THANKSSSS

Answers

Answer:

x = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a circle is 360°, so the angles must add up to 60°.

Step 1: Set up equation

x - 120 + x - 120 = 60

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms: 2x - 240 = 60Add 240 on both sides: 2x = 300Divide both sides by 2: x = 150

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it is correct.

150 - 120 = 30°

150 - 120 = 30°

30° + 30° = 60°

60° + 300° = 360°
