Assuming boys and girls are equally​ likely, find the probability of a couple having a baby boy when their third child is​ born, given that the first two children were both boys

Answers

Answer 1
50% because the first two children have no effect on the third one
Answer 2

The required probability of a couple having a baby boy when their third child is​ born is 1/2.

What is probability?

probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes. The chance that a particular event (or set of events) will occur expressed on a linear scale from 0 (impossibility) to 1 (certainty), also expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100%.

Given:

Assuming boys and girls are equally​ likely.

The first two children were both boys

According to given question we have

The probability of having a baby girl is an independent probability.

The first two children were both boys

So, it is not related to the previous child.

So required probability = 1/2

Therefore, the required probability of a couple having a baby boy when their third child is​ born is 1/2.

A spring has natural length 20 cm. Compare the work W1 done in stretching the spring from 20 cm to 30 cm with the work W2 done in stretching it from 30 to 40 cm. (Use k for the spring constant) How are W2 and W1 related?

Answers

Answer:

W₂ is three times W₁ (W₂ = 3W₁)

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

W = ke²/2............. Equation 1

Where W = workdone in stretching the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

For W₁,

W₁ = ke₁²/2

Given: e₁ = 30-20 = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Substitute these value into equation 1

W₁ = k(0.1²)/2

W₁ = 0.005k Joules

For W₂,

W₂ = (ke/2)-W₁

Given: e = (40-20) = 20 cm = 0.1 m

Substitute these value into equation 1

W₂ = (k×0.2²/2)-0.005

W₂ = 0.015k Joules.

W₂/W₁ = 0.015k/0.005k

W₂/W₁ = 3

Therefore,

W₂ = 3W₁

A study of the effects of color on easing anxiety compared anxiety test scores of participants who completed the test printed on either soft yellow paper or on harsh green paper. The scores for five participants who completed the test printed on the yellow paper were 17, 19, 28, 21, and 1 8. The scores for four participants who completed the test on the green paper were 20, 26, 17, and 24. Using the .05 level, test the researcher's prediction that participants should have lower anxiety scores when taking the test on the yellow paper than when taking the test on the green paper. What is the research hypothesis

Answers

Answer:

H0 : μYellow = μGreen

H1 : μYellow < μGreen

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Yellow paper = μYellow

Green paper = μGreen

To test the hypothesis :

The null hypothesis is will state that there is no difference in mean of anxiety scores obtained for test taken of yellow and green papers

H0 : μYellow = μGreen.

The alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null and it is to the left, where we want to test if the anxiety score is lower when take on a yellow paper

H1 : μYellow < μGreen

Answers

Answer:

0.08y - 0.0144

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the below expression i.e.

(y - .18) x .08

It can be done as follows :

Using distributive property to solve it.

(y - .18) x .08 = 0.08(y) - 0.18(0.08)

= 0.08y - 0.0144

So, the equivalent expression is 0.08y - 0.0144.

Ben travels a regular distance of 80 miles to reach office. Today, he used an alternative route that covered a distance of only 75 miles. What is the decrease in the percentage of the distance travelled by ben

Answers

Answer:

Ben traveled 93.75% of his usual distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ben travels a regular distance of 80 miles to reach office, and today he used an alternative route that covered a distance of only 75 miles, to determine what is the decrease in the percentage of the distance traveled by Ben, the following calculation must be done:

80 = 100

75 = X

75 x 100/80 = X

93.75 = X

Therefore, Ben traveled 93.75% of his usual distance.

w • (-4+ z) = mz + 17
z = ____

solve for z.

ps.. pls help me lol. i need the answer

Answers

Answer:

z =  (17+4w)/(w-m)

Step-by-step explanation:

w • (-4+ z) = mz + 17

Distribute

-4w +wz = mz+17

Subtract mz from each side

-4w +wz - mz = mz+17-mz

-4w +wz-mz = 17

Add 4w to each side

-4w +4w+wz-mz = 17+4w

wz-mz = 17+4w

Factor out z

z(w-m) = 17+4w

Divide by (w-m)

z(w-m)/(w-m) = (17+4w)/(w-m)

z =  (17+4w)/(w-m)

Destiny just received two separate gifts from her great-great-grandmother.
The first gift is a box of 18 chocolate candy bars, and the second gift is a pack of 12 cookies.
Destiny wants to use all of the chocolate candy bars and cookies to make identical snack bags for her cousins.
What is the greatest number of snack bags that Destiny can make?

Answers

Answer:

Destiny will be able to create 12 identical snack bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a snack bag will be 1 chocolate candy bar, and 1 cookie, we have to subtract 1 chocolate for every cookie she has, and that will leave us with 6 chocolate bars left. The equation for this is 18 - 12 = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error is obtained as the product of the critical value of the distribution at a certain α-level and the standard error :

The critical value = Z*

The standard error = standard deviation / √sample size

Standard deviation = s

Sample size = n

Margin of Error = z * s/√n

Answers

Answer:

x = -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 11 = -6x - 5

12x = -16

x = -4/3

Answer:

x = -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 11= - (6x + 5)

Distribute the minus sign

6x+11 = -6x-5

Add 6x to each side

6x+11 +6x = -6x-5+6x

12x+11 = -5

Subtract 11 from each side

12x+11-11 = -5-11

12x = -16

Divide by 12

12x/12 = -16/12

x = -4/3
