Solution :
Given :
X = the number of boys in a family of four children
Families having four children are chosen randomly.
The gender distribution in the four child family are equally probable.
Thus,
X P(X) CDF
0 = 1/16
1 = 1/4
2 = 3/8
3 = 1/4
4 = 1/16 1
Answer:
Option (3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Option (1).
3(x - 1) = x + 2(x + 1) + 1
3x - 3 = x + 2x + 2 + 1
3x - 3 = 3x + 3 [Not True]
Therefore, this equation is not an identity.
Option (2).
x - 4(x + 1) = -3(x + 1) + 1
x - 4x - 4 = -3x - 3 + 1
-3x - 4 = -3x - 2 [Not true]
Therefore, this equation is not an identity.
Option (3).
2x + 3 =
2x + 3 = 2x + 1 + 2
2x + 3 = 2x + 3 [True]
Therefore, this equation is an identity.
Option (4).
3x - 1.5 = 3x + 3 - x - 2
3x - 1.5 = 2x + 1 [Not true]
Therefore, this equation is not an identity.
