Determine the probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl assuming boys and girls are equally likely

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.5 = 50% probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl.

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 being a girl is independent of any other child, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

Two children, hence [tex]n = 2[/tex].Equally as likely to be a boy or a girl, hence [tex]p = 0.5[/tex].

The probability of one of each is P(X = 1), hence:

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

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.5[/tex]

0.5 = 50% probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl.

Answers

Answer:

D. Domain: 2 > -11

Range: All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct me if I’m wrong UwU

Answer:

Domain: All real numbers

Range: f(x) ≥ - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function in vertex form, f(x) = ½(x + 4)² - 11:

The vertex, (h, k) is (-4, -11).

Range: f(x) ≥ -11.  

The parabola opens upward (where a = ½, which is greater than 0), and k = -11 is the minimum value for f(x).  Hence, the range of the given function must be at least -11, or f(x) ≥ -11.  

Domain: all real numbers

There is no restriction for the value of x. Therefore, the domain of the given function is all real numbers.

  $31,384.28

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're familiar with Pascal's triangle, you probably recognize the digits of the given values match successive lines of that triangle. This immediately suggests that the base of the exponential function is exactly 1.1, and the model can be written immediately as ...

  y = 10000(1.1^x)

For x=12, the value of the investment is predicted to be ...

  y = 10,000(1.1^12) ≈ 31,384.28

The value of the investment 12 years after purchase is predicted to be $31,384.28.

is a function f(x)= 1/x odd or even?

Answers

Answer:

the function is odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is even if f(−x)=f(x) . f(x) is odd if f(−x)=−f(x) . Since −1x=−f(x).

Answer:

Odd

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways a function can be determined even or odd.

1. Graph

If the line of symmetry is the y=axis, the function is even.

If it can be rotated 180˚ about the origin and lines up with the original equation, it is odd.

If none of the cases above are satisfied, the function is neither.

2. f(-x)

If you substitute -x for x and you get the equation to be the same as before, the function is even.

If you substitute -x for x and you get the previous equation * -1, the function is odd.

If none of the cases above are satisfied, the function is neither.

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

We need to find the points lie on a line that passes through the origin with a slope of −2/5

The line passes through (0, 0) and (x, y) form a slope of -2/5

-2/5=y/x

So y is 2 and x is 5.

Hence, (−5, 2) is points lie on a line that passes through the origin with a slope of −2/5
