Let's handle this case by case.

Clearly, there's no way both children can be girls.  There are then two cases:

Case 1: Two boys.  In this case, we have 13 possibilities:  the first is born on a Tuesday and the second is not (that's 6 possibilities, six ways to choose the day for the second boy), the first is not born on a Tuesday and the second is (6 more possibilities, same logic), and both are born on a Tuesday (1 final possibility), for a total of 13 possibilities with this case.

Case 2: A boy and a girl.  In this case, there are 14 possibilities:  The first is a boy born on a Tuesday and the second is a girl born on any day (7 possibilities, again choosing the day of the week.  We are counting possibilities by days of the week, so we must be consistent here.), or the first is a girl born any day and the second is a boy born on a Tuesday (7 possibilities).

We're trying to find the probability of case 1 occurring given that case 1 or case 2 occurs.  As there's 13+14=27 ways for either case to occur, we have a 13/27 probability that case 1 is the one that occurred.

Let B1T denote the first boy being born on Tuesday, B2N denote the second boy being born any day of the week and similarly B1N,B2T.

Then by Baye's formula, P=\frac{P((B1T\cap B2N)\cup(B1N\cap B2T))_{B1\cap B2}P(B1\cap B2)}{P((B1T\cap B2N)\cup(B1N\cap B2T)}=\frac{(\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{7^2})\cdot\frac{1}4}{\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{14}-\frac{1}{14^2}}=\boxed{\frac{13}{27}}

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 3) and (14, 0)?
Brut [27]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph your points on a coordinate grid, you will see the rise/run. From the point -4, -3 to the point 14,0 ; there is a rise of 3 and a run of 18. The rise goes over the run and creates a fraction of 3/18 and 3/18 simplified is 1/6! Hope this helps!

Congruent triangles & proofs need answers to all the ones i got wrong. thank u!
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

13. Since, it is given that we have to prove ΔGDH≅ΔFEH by HL rule, thus From ΔGDH, ∠GDH=90° and GH is the hypotenuse and from ΔFEH, ∠HEF=90° and HF is the hypotenuse, thus in ΔGDH and ΔFEH,

∠GDH≅∠HEF=90°

GH≅FH,

Thus by HL the given triangles are congruent.

Option A is correct.

14. From the figure, it can be seen that both triangles have a right angle congruent and hypotenuse congruent, thus by HL rule, triangle scan be prove congruent.

Option A is correct.

15. It is given that BI is parallel to RD, thus using the alternate interior angle property, ∠B≅∠R.

Option C is correct.

16. It is given that BI is parallel to RD, and ∠BSI and ∠RSD form the vertically opposite angles, thus ∠BSI≅∠RSD by vertical angles are congruent.

Option A is correct.

17. Since Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle, thus two sides of the triangle are equal, therefore ∠A=∠B=3x+5, using the angle sum property in ΔABC, we have

3x+5+2x+3x+5=180°

⇒8x+10=180

⇒8x=170

⇒x=21.25

Thus, ∠B=3x+5=3(21.25)+5=63.75+5=68.75°

18. From ΔJKL and ΔDEF, we have

∠K=∠E (given)

∠L=∠F(given)

JL=DF

Thus, By AAS rule ΔJKL ≅ ΔDEF

As corresponding angles and corresponding sides are equal in these two triangles as compared to the other triangles.
