Answer:

304 brass connectors.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a box filled with brass connectors weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces. The box weighs 8 ounces when empty, and each connector weighs 0.25 ounces.  

Since we know that 1 pound equals to 16 ounces.Let us convert weight of box filled with brass connectors from pounds to ounces.

(5*16)+4=80+4=84

Now we will find weight of brass connectors by subtracting weight of empty box from weight of filled box.

84-8=76

Let us divide 76 by 0.25 to find number of brass connectors in the box.

\text{ Number of brass connectors in the box}=\frac{76}{0.25}

\text{ Number of brass connectors in the box}=304

Therefore, there are 304 connectors in the box.

A family has two children. When asked if he has at least one daughter named Ann, the fatherreplies, "Yes." What is the probabili
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

33.3% probability that both children are girls, if we know that the family has at least one daughter named Ann.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The family has two children.

The sample space, that is, the genders of the children may be divided in the following way, in which b means boy and g means girl.

b - b

b - g

g - b

g - g

We know that they have at least one girl. So the sample space is:

b - g

g - b

g - g

What is the probability that both children are girls, if we know that the family has at least one daughter named Ann?

Desired outcomes:

Both children being girls, so

g - g

1 desired outcome

Total outcomes

b - g

g - b

g - g

3 total outcomes

Probability

1/3 = 0.333

33.3% probability that both children are girls, if we know that the family has at least one daughter named Ann.

x = 4y

x - y = 342

3y = 342

y = 114

xy = 4y * y = 456 * 114 = 51984
