Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.

This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.

Answer the question in the pic below (math)
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

46.95 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the kaleidoscope = surface area of a triangular prism = 2(BA) + P*H

Base area (B) = 2(½*bh) = 2(½*1.5*1.3) = 1.95 in.²

Perimeter of base (P) = 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 4.5 in.

Height of prism (H) = 10 in.

Plug in the values

Surface area = 1.95 + 4.5*10 = 46.95 in.²

What is the period of y = 8 cos (5pie x + 3pie/2)-9<br> Give an exact value. Units
zzz [600]

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=Acos(Bx+C)+D

  • This is the general formula and the period is 2π/B

Now our given function

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=8cos\left(5\pi x+\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\right)-9

On comparing we get

  • A=8
  • B=5π
  • C=3π/2
  • D=-9

Period:-

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{2\pi}{B}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{2\pi}{5\pi}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{2}{5}

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x in a verbal sentence please help
tankabanditka [31]
SOLUTION:

As an equation it is:

y - 3x = 5y + 2x

If you are asking for it as a sentence ( I will do it as a written sentence as I unfortunately can't show you the sentence verbally as you had asked ), then it is as you had written in your question so:

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x

Or you could write is as:

y subtracted by three times x is equivalent to the sum of five times y and two times x.

Essentially, even with the small alterations that you can make to the phrasing and sentence structure, the concepts are the same so you can use one of the above answers or alter it as you please.

Hope this helps! :)

A, b, c and d are positive integers, such that a+b+ ab = 76, c+d+ cd = 54. Find (a+b+c+d)·a·b·c·d.
lutik1710 [3]

Notice that

(1 + <em>x</em>)(1 + <em>y</em>) = 1 + <em>x</em> + <em>y</em> + <em>x y</em>

So we can add 1 to both sides of both equations, and we use the property above to get

<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + <em>a b</em> = 76  ==>  (1 + <em>a</em>)(1 + <em>b</em>) = 77

and

<em>c</em> + <em>d</em> + <em>c d</em> = 54  ==>  (1 + <em>c</em>)(1 + <em>d</em>) = 55

Now, 77 = 7*11 and 55 = 5*11, so we get

<em>a</em> + 1 = 7  ==>  <em>a</em> = 6

<em>b</em> + 1 = 11  ==>  <em>b</em> = 10

(or the other way around, since the given relations are symmetric)

and

<em>c</em> + 1 = 5  ==>  <em>c</em> = 4

<em>d</em> + 1 = 11  ==>  <em>d</em> = 10

Now substitute these values into the desired quantity:

(<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + <em>c</em> + <em>d</em>) <em>a</em> <em>b</em> <em>c</em> <em>d</em> = 72,000
