pendent or independent of the first three?

Eliminate
B) Dependent. Amy has not had a boy yet, so her chance of having a boy is greater.

Answer:

Option A is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Amy has 3 children, and she is expecting another baby soon. Her first three children are girls.

The fourth baby is independent of first three babies

As regards child birth, each trial is independent of the other with probability for a girl or boy equally likely with p = 0.5 = q

Hence option A is right answer.

Option B is wrong because the previous 3 girls have nothing to affect the sex of 4th child

Option C is wrong, since each trial is independent

D) is wrong since even mom and dad cannot determine the sex of that baby, it is nature and pure chance.

Answer:

I would say D.) is the best choice in this situation, The amount of female children you have does not determine the Gender that your child will be, The kids have nothing to do with the situation, The Father and Mother are what determine the Gender.

Let d be distance travelled when they are level , and t = time that nora took to get level with mason for Nora 6 = d/t d = 6t for Mason 5 = d / (t + 35) d = 5 ( t + 350 so 6t = 5(t + 35) solve for t

Identifying Possible Triangles
Masja [62]

Answer:

3rd triangle can be constructed with dimensions 2,6,7.

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of any two sides > third side.

difference of any two sides < third side

1.

8+5=13 not >14 (no triangle.)

2.

7+8=15 not >15 (no triangle)

3.

2+6=8>7

2+7=9>6

7+6=13>2

7-2=5<6

7-6=1<2

6-2=4<7

so it is a triangle.

4.

6+3=9 not >10 (not a triangle)

The volume of a prism is 702 cubic inches of the length is 13 inches and the width is 6 inches what is the height
balu736 [363]

volume = L x W x H

702 = 13 x 6 x h

702 = 78 x h

702/78 = h

h = 9
