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

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Monica spent 0.55 hours listening to Brahms.

Amount of time spent  listening to Beethoven =

=\dfrac{1}{5}

Total time spent listening to Brahms =

Amount of time spent  listening to tapes of Beethoven and Brahms - Amount of time spent  listening to Beethoven

=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{15-4}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{20}\text{ Hours}\\\\=0.55\text{ Hours}

Thus, Monica spent  \frac{11}{20}\text{ hours} listening to Brahms.
