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.

The sum of two numbers is 3. Five times the larger number plus four times the smaller number is 29. Find the numbers
gulaghasi [49]
Let's have two numbers x (larger) and y (smaller). from the info above...

x + y = 3
5x + 4y = 29

so that means y=3 - x. we can sub this in
5x + 4(3-x) = 29
5x + 12 - 4x = 29
x = 17
then y=3-x=3-17=-14

so it's 17 and -14
