When it comes to probability, the answer is always expressed as part of a whole. With that being said, your answer for this problem can be a ratio, fraction or in percentage. Probability is the study of finding the chances or odds of an event happening with the use of statistics. You are already given the statistics of baby girls and baby boys. Note that you are asked to find the probability of the baby being a girl. So, the part here includes the 248, while the whole is 248+13 = 261. Therefore, the probability is 248/261 or 0.95 or 95%. That means that the likelihood of having a girl baby using this technique is very high.

The area of a rectangle with width x and length 5x is 5x2. What does the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The length is 5 times the width

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

W ----> the width of the rectangle

L ----> the length of the rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=LW

In this problem we have

L=5x ----> equation A

W=x ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

L=5W

therefore

The length is 5 times the width

Tan(x+pi) + 2sin(x+pi)=0<br><br>can you help prove this and make the left side equal the right?
vladimir1956 [14]

This is not an identity but an equation. You're supposed to find the values of x for which this is true. It is *not* true for all values of x.

To see why:

\tan x has period \pi, which means \tan(x+\pi)=\tan x.

The angle sum identity for \sin x says that

\sin(x+\pi)=\sin x\cos \pi+\cos x\sin\pi=-\sin x

So

\tan(x+\pi)+2\sin(x+\pi)=\tan x-2\sin x

By definition of \tan x,

\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}

and so

\tan x-2\sin x=\sin x\left(\dfrac1{\cos x}-2\right)

which is only 0 if either \sin x=0 (which only happens for certain values of x) or \dfrac1{\cos x}-2=0\implies\cos x=\dfrac12 (which also only happens for certain values of x). It's these values of x you want to find.

\sin x=0 whenever x is a multiple of \pi, i.e. x=n\pi for any integer n.

If 0\le x, then \cos x=\dfrac12 is true for x=\dfrac\pi3 and x=\dfrac{5\pi}3. Then to account for all other possible values, we add a multiple of 2\pi, so that x=\dfrac\pi3+2n\pi or x=\dfrac{5\pi}3+2n\pi for integers n.
