12. If a family is chosen at random from the set of all families with exactly three children, find the probability
that: (2Marks)
a) the family has three boys if it is known that one child is a boy.
b) the family has three boys if it is known that the first child is a boy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 0.25

(b) 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the child being a boy or a girl is 50%.

That is, P (B) = 0.50 = P (G).

It is provided that the family selected has three children.

(a)

Compute the probability that the family has three boys if it is known that one child is a boy as follows:

[tex]P(3B|1B)=\frac{P(3B\cap 1B)}{P(1B)}[/tex]

                 [tex]=\frac{P(3B)}{P(1B)}\\\\=\frac{(0.50)^{3}}{0.50}\\\\=0.25[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the family has three boys if it is known that one child is a boy is 0.25.

(b)

Compute the probability that the family has three boys if it is known that the first child is a boy as follows:

The gender of the children are independent of each other.

So, if the first child is a boy then the probability of having three boys is:

P (3 boys | 1st boy) = P (1st boy) × P (2nd boy) × P (3rd boy)

                               = (0.50)³

                               = 0.125

Thus, the probability that the family has three boys if it is known that the first child is a boy is 0.125.

Jordan has 3 blue shirts, 4 red shirts and 6 orange shirts. She chooses a shirt for Monday and places it in her suitcase. Then, she chooses a shirt for Tuesday. What is the probability that she choose a red shirt for Monday and an orange shirt for Tuesday?

Answers

Answer:

30% on Monday 46% on Tuesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you have 3 blue shirts 4 red shirts and 6 orange shirts so what you have to do is add all them together to make it a fraction which you would do 3+4+6 which is 13/13 so the probability of her wearing a red shirt on Monday would be 4/13 since there are 4 red shirts and 13 in total so we make 4/13 as a fraction which would give us 30% chance she would choose a red shirt on Monday and for Tuesday we do the same thing but instead we use orange shirts so which is 6/13 which would give her a percentage of 46% on Tuesday it's more closer to half than the red shirts because 6 pretty much half of 13 but since 13 is a odd number it isn't  half because half of 13 is 6.5

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is
12x – 2y = 24. Fully reduce your answer.

Answers

Answer:

-1/6

Explanation:

The slope of the line is: 6
And if two lines are perpendicular to each other, the product of their slopes is: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between the slope of the line parallel to the line whose equation is

[tex]12x-2y=24[/tex] is [tex]-1/6[/tex]

The slope intercept form is represented as follows;

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

For a line perpendicular to another line the product of there slope is negative 1. Therefore,

m₁m₂ = -1

m₁ 1/6 = -1

m₁ = - 1/ 5

The line's angle of slope is 6

Additionally, the slope product of two lines that are perpendicular to one another is -1.

What percent of 185 is 70?
(please show work)

Answers

Answer:

37.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 185 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=185.

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=70.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=185(1).

x%=70(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100% / x% = 185 / 70

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x% / 100% = 70/185

---> = 37.84%

Therefore, 70 is 37.84% of 185.

Answers

Answer:

1/x + 1/( x+15 ) = 1/4  / · x ( x+15 )

   x+15 + x = x ( x+15 ) /4      / · 4

   8 x + 60 = x² + 15 x

   x² + 15 x - 8 x - 60 = 0

   x² + 7 x - 60 = 0

   x² + 12 x - 5 x - 60 = 0

   x · ( x + 12 ) - 5 ·( x+ 12 ) = 0

   ( x + 12 ) · ( x - 5 ) =0
