a husband and wife discover that there is a 4% probability of their passing on a hereditary disease to 3 of their children if they plan to have their children what is the probability of the event that at least one child will inherit the disease

Answers

Answer 1

"4% probability of their passing on a hereditary disease to 3 of their children"

I'm not sure if this means that the possibility of them passing the disease to one child is 4%, or if the probability of them passing the disease to the collective three children is 4%.

In case its the first one:

To make this a little easier, if you think about it the only possible way for the condition "at least one child will inherit the disease" to be untrue is if all 3 children do not have the disease. Therefore we just need to calculate the probability of all 3 children not having the disease.

if the chance of having the disease is 0.04, then the chance of not having it is 0.96

for three children: 0.96*0.96*0.96

=  0.884736

to find the chance of this not happening:

1 - 0.884736

= 0.115264 ≈ 12%

there is a 12 percent chance at least one of the children will inherit the disease

In case its the second one:

the probability of all 3 children having the disease is 0.04,

the probability of 1 child getting the disease is unknown, x.

this means

x*x*x = 0.04

x ≈ 0.342

now we just basically repeat the steps above

1 - 0.342

= 0.658 (probability that one child does not get the disease)

0.658 * 0.658 * 0.658

= 0.284890312 (probability that all 3 children do not get the disease)

1 - 0.284890312

= 0.715109688 ≈ 72%

there is a 72 percent chance at least one of the children will inherit the disease

Shandra has a sheet of cardboard whose area is x2 + 2x - 15 square inches. We know that the length of the cardboard
sheet is (x + 5) inches. What is its width? (Hint: area = length width)

Answers

Answer:

(x - 3) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of -15 (of the area term) and +5 (of the length term) suggests a term for the width ending in -3. and we need an x in there to get x² for the area.

so, immediate assumption is (x-3) for the width.

let's check

(x+5)(x-3) = x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = x² + 2x - 15

correct.

Answers

Answer:

18.84 feet.  let me know if you have ay other questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the formula for circumference is kinda complicated so it is best to ust memorize the formula, which is 2πr.  or 2 times pi times the radius.  

Your problem gives you the formula, but instead of 2 and r in it you have d, which is the diameter.

The diameter of the circle is 2 times the radius, so that's why it is replaced.

the radius is the distance from the center fo the circle to one edge, and the diameter is the distance through the circle passing through its center.  so it's the center to one end plus the center to another end.  or r+r which is also 2r.

So d = 2r, so in this problem d =6 feet.

So now the formula πd = 3.14*6 feet = 18.84 feet

Answer:

 6 minutes, 11 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In seconds the average transaction time is ...

  6 min 52 s = 6(60 s) +52s = 412 s

Reducing this by 10% will cut it to 1 -10% = 90% of this value, or ...

  (412 s)(0.9) = 370.8 s

In minutes and seconds, this is 6(60 s) +10.8 s = 6 min 10.8 s.

The average transaction time must be reduced to about 6 min 11 s.

One mathematical idea I've always been curious about is "integration and derivation".

Integration is about assimilating different variables. Derivation is a mathematical process whereby a result is gotten from some initial assumptions.

Integration is used everyday in different aspects of our lives. For example, if a person is travelling from let's say point A to point B, the speed used by the person might vary but through integration, one can easily get the accurate speed.

Through the division of equations into smaller bits, once can use integration to get the answer that one seeks. Architect can use integration in building the right structures at the exact places where the structures fits.

Likewise derivatives can be used by businesses in assessing whether a profit or loss will be made for a particular transaction or sale of product.

It helps if the formula is properly written.

Fill in the given values for a, r, and use n = 1 to 4.

 T1 = 3·2^(1-1) = 3

 T2 = 3·2^(2-1) = 6

 T3 = 3·2^(3 -1) = 12

 T4 = 3·2^(4 -1) = 24

Additional comment

The value a=3 tells you the first term is 3. The value r=2 tells you each term is 2 times the previous one. Knowing this, you can write down the sequence based on your knowledge of multiplication tables (×2). You can use the formula as we did above, but it isn't necessary.

Find the measure of the missing angles.

Answers

Answer:

b = 53

c = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so we already know that b and c are going to have the same angle measures. We can find b by subtracting 180 degrees to 127. Why you may ask? Its because when b and 127 are added together its obvious that it creates a straight line (supplementary angle). This means that two angles will sum up to 180 degrees. We can create an easy equation and solve for b.

127 + b = 180

b = 53 and c = 53

what represent the area of the rectangle in cm^2??

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  d.  3x² +15x

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of length and width.

  A = LW

  A = (3x)(x+5) = 3x(x) +3x(5) . . . . use the distributive property

  A = 3x² +15x

Answer: D) 3x^2 + 15

==========================================================

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line to divide the rectangle into two parts (they don't necessarily have to be equal parts). Refer to the diagram below. The upper rectangle is x by 3x. So its area is length*width = x*3x = 3x^2

The lower rectangle is 5 by 3x, so its area is 5*3x = 15x

Combine those two sub-areas back together to get the overall area of 3x^2 + 15x

You could also use the distribution rule

3x*(x+5) = 3x*(x) + 3x*(5) = 3x^2 + 15x

Answer:

Online Poll

We can conclude that

c. most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample responses received from the poll = 941,434

Proportion of voters for Clay Aiken = 55%

Computed proportion of voters for the other 5 contestants = 45% (100% - 55%)

This gives an average of 7.5% (45%/5) for the other 5 contestants.

Therefore, the conclusion is that "most Americans prefer Clay Aiken out of those former contestants" in the American Idol contest.
