Answer:

a.S={hh,sh,hs,ss}

b.tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

c.\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample space of three children

S={bbb,bbg,bgb,bgg,gbb,gbg,ggb,ggg}

a.We have to construct similar space for two children where h for healthy and s for sick.

Then the sample space of two children

S={hh,sh,hs,ss}

b.Number of cases favorable to two healthy children=1

Total number of  cases=4

Number of cases for two healthy children=1

Probability =Number of favorable cases divided  by total number of cases

Probability=\frac{1}{4}

Hence, the probability of getting two healthy children=\frac{1}{4}

c.We have to find the probability of getting exactly one healthy child and one sick child

Number of cases of one healthy child and one sick child={hs,sh}=2

Probability=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

Hence, the probability of getting exactly one healthy child and one sick child=\frac{1}{2}

Which inequality matches the given situation if w represents weight in pounds:Baby tigers can be no larger than 4 pounds.
ozzi

Given:

w be the weight in pounds of a baby tigers.

To find:

The inequality if baby tigers can be no larger than 4 pounds.

Solution:

Baby tigers can be no larger than 4 pounds. It mean weight of baby tigers cannot be greater than 4. In other words, the weight of the baby tigers must be less than or equal to 4.

Let w represents weight in pounds and the weight of the baby tigers must be less than or equal to 4. So,

w\leq 4

Therefore, the required inequality is w\leq 4.

-2x-y=-5 In slope intercept form please! :)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-2x - y = -5 in slop intercept form would be <u>y = -2x + 5 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - y = -5

first add -2x to the left side to move it to the right side because whatever you do to one side u do to the other.

-y = -5 + 2x

divide by -1 on the whole equation

y = -2x + 5 is your answer.
