3 0

Answer:

d. 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Having at least 1 girl out of 3 children means that there can be 1, 2 or 3 girls out of the 3 children.

So having at lest 1 girl out of 3 children is the same as saying that all 3 children are not boys.

The probability that all 3 children are boys would be

chance that child 1 is a boy * chance that child 2 is a boy * chance that child 3 is a boy = 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125

And the probability that NOT all 3 children are boys would be

100% - probability that all 3 children are boys = 1 - 0.125 = 0.875

6. Salary Raise. A Union negotiates for a cost-of-living raise of 3.4%. What is the raise for a union
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

<h2>New salary= $43,800.24</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

the initial salary is = $42,360

the raise in percentage is =3.4%

To know the raise we need to calculate what the amount of 3.4% of $42,360 is

Step two:

=(3.4/100)*42,360

=0.034*42360

=1440.24

therefore thr raise is $1440.24

Step three:

the new salary is given as

new salary= old salary+ raise

New salary= $42,360+$1440.24

New salary= $43,800.24

Write the exact value of the side length of each square. If the value is not a whole number, estimate the length.
Savatey [412]

Given:

The area of the squares are given.

To find:

The exact side length or estimate side length of the square.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a square is

A=a^2

Where, a is the side length of the square.

a=\sqrt{A}

Area of the square is 100 square units. So, the side length is:

a=\sqrt{100}

a=10

Therefore, the side length is 10 units.

Area of the square is 95 square units. So, the side length is:

a=\sqrt{95}

It is not exact. We know that \sqrt{81}.

Therefore, the side length is between 9 and 10.

Area of the square is 36 square units. So, the side length is:

a=\sqrt{36}

a=6

Therefore, the side length is 6 units.

Area of the square is 30 square units. So, the side length is:

a=\sqrt{30}

It is not exact. We know that \sqrt{25}.

Therefore, the side length is between 5 and 6.
