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}\\

TRUE or FALSE: In the quarter circle, the radius is 4 cm and the diameter is 8 cm.
viktelen [127]

Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

There does not exist a "quarter circle" as a circle with a radius of 4 units, the only notable circle that does exist is the unit circle, that is the circle where the radius is equal to 1, represented by the equatin x^2 + y^2 = 1

The term "quarter circle" actually does refer to a fourth part of a circle, not to a circle of radius 4.

So the statement is false
