If a couple plans to have 6 ​children, what is the probability that there will be at least one boy​? Assume boys and girls are e

qually likely. Is that probability high enough for the couple to be very confident that they will get at least one boy in 6 ​children?

Answer:

a) \frac{63}{64}

b) The probability for the couple to be very confident that they will get at least one boy in 6 ​children is 98.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a boy or girl is 0.5

A couple plans to have 6 children

Probability of having at least one male child

1- (0.5)^6\\

On solving the above term, we get -

1- (\frac{1}{2})^6\\= 1-\frac{1}{64}\\ = \frac{63}{64}

The probability for the couple to be very confident that they will get at least one boy in 6 ​children is

\frac{63}{64}* 100\\ = 98.43

Thus, the probability is very high

a fisherman travels 9mi downstream with the current in the same time he travels 3 mi upstream against the current. if the speed
netineya [11]

Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10

Which equation is a solution to (x-3)(x+9)=27?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

x = ± 3\sqrt{7} - 3

Explanation:

I'm assuming you want the solutions to that equation, so here goes! (If not, please comment.)

(x-3)(x+9)=27

Let's FOIL this all out and expand. (Remember: First, Outer, Inner, Last.)

x^2 +   9x    -    3x    -  27

(first+ inner + outer + last)

x^2 + 9x - 3x - 27 = 27

Combine like terms, and add 27 to both sides.

x^2 + 6x - 27 + 27 = 27 + 27

x^2 + 6x = 54

Let's complete the square, because factoring doesn't work, and because it's good practice.

x^2 + 6x + ___ = 54 + ____

In the blank we will put b/2 ^2 = 6/2 ^2 = 3^2 = 9 to complete the square.

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 54 + 9

Now we've got a perfect square factor:

(x + 3)^2 = 63

sqrt(x+3)^2 = \sqrt{63}

x + 3 = ± 3\sqrt{7}

x = ± 3\sqrt{7} - 3

PLZZZZ ANSWER ASAP.The blue line is the graph of y = –x + 3. Use the sliders to make the orange line represent y = –2x + 9. Exam
Elza [17]

We have been given a system of equations. y =-x + 3 and y =-2x + 9. We are asked to find the solution of our given system of equations.

The solution of our given system of equations will be the point, where both lines will intersect.

To find intersection point, we will equate both equations as:

-x + 3=-2x + 9

-x + 3-3=-2x + 9-3

-x=-2x +6

-x+2x=-2x+2x +6

x=6

Now we will substitute x=6 in equation  y =-x + 3 and solve for y.

y =-x+ 3\Rightarrow -6+3=-3

Therefore, the point (6,-3) is the solution of our given system of equations.

We can verify our answer by graphing both equations.
