Solution:

we havebeen asked to write

a. construct a similar sample space for the possible health outcomes​ (using h for healthy and s for sick​) of two children.

Sample space=\left \{HH, HS,SH,SS\right \}

Where S=Sick, H=Healthy

b. assuming that the outcomes listed in part​ (a) were equally​ likely, find the probability of getting two healthy children.

From the sample sapce its clear that

Total number of outcomes=4   (\left \{HH, HS,SH,SS\right \})

Favourable Outcome=1        ({HH})

Hence the Probability=\frac{1}{4}\\

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

From the sample space in part a, its clear that

Total number of possible out come =4          (\left \{HH, HS,SH,SS\right \})

Favourable outcome=2                                 ({ HS,SH})

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

What percent of a circle is 1/4 + 1/2 ?
zlopas [31]
Presuming the circle is the whole, 1/4 + 1/2 is 3/4, or 0.75, so it is 75% of the circle.

Anyone understand the answer
oksian1 [2.3K]

\bf 2\frac{1}{2}\left( 8x-\cfrac{4}{5} \right)=-62\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\left( 8x-\cfrac{4}{5} \right)=-62\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing}}{\cfrac{5\cdot 8}{2}x-\cfrac{5\cdot 4}{2\cdot 5}}=-62 \\\\\\ 20x-2=-62\implies 20x=-60\implies x=\cfrac{-60}{20}\implies x=-3
