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

sdas [7]
<span>In the question "Based on the data in the two-way table, what is the probability that a person weighs 120 pounds, given that he or she consumes 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day?" The probability of an event, say A given another event, say B is given by n(A and B) / n(B). Thus the probability that a person weighs 120 pounds, given that he or she consumes 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day is given by number of persons that weigh 120 pounds and consume 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day / number of persons that consume 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day. From the table, the number of persons that weigh 120 pounds and consume 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day is 10 while the number of persons that consume 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day is 110. Therefore, the required probability is 10 / 110 = 1 / 11</span>
