If five babies are born in a given hospital on the same day what is the chance of 5 boys

1 answer:

4 0

Assuming the probability of a boy is 50%, then the probability of 5 boys is

(50%)(50%)(50%)(50%)(50%) = 3.125%.

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/32

Firewood can be sold in cords. the wood is cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack. which geometric shape can be use

Nadya [2.5K]

To estimate the volume of the chord of wood, since the wood exists cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack then we can use a cylinder as a model.

<h3>What is a cylinder?</h3>

In mathematics, a cylinder exists as a three-dimensional solid that holds two parallel bases joined by a curved surface, at a fixed distance. These bases exist normally circular (like a circle) and the center of the two bases exists joined by a line segment, which exists named the axis.

A cylinder exists as a closed solid that contains two parallel circular bases joined by a curved surface.

To calculate the volume of the chord of wood, since the wood exists cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack then we can use a cylinder as a model.

A square has an area of 256 square meters. How long is each side?<br><br> _Meters by _ meters

Lorico [155]

Hello!

First, let's write an equation for the problem.
$\sqrt{256}$

Now, all you have to do is solve it.
$\sqrt{256}$ = 16

Each side is 16 meters.

I hope this helps!

Write the equation of each line using the given information.

Marat540 [252]

A. The equation of the line is y = -0.2 x + 1.9

B. The equation of the line is y = 4 x + 3

C. The equation of the line is y = -8

D. The equation of the line is y = 2 x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

The formula of the slope of a line which passes through points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$
The slope of a horizontal line whose equation y = b is zero
The y-intercept means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , b)

∵ The line passes through points (2 , 1.5) and (-5 , 36.5)

∴ $x_{1}$ = 2 and $x_{2}$ = -5

∴ $y_{1}$ = 1.5 and $y_{2}$ = 36.5

∵ $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

∴ $m=\frac{-5-2}{36.5-1.5}=\frac{-7}{35}=\frac{-1}{5}$

∴ m = -0.2

∵ y = m x + b

∵ m = -0.2

∴ y = -0.2 x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of

one of the two given points

∵ x = 2 and y = 1.5

∴ 1.5 = -0.2(2) + b

∴ 1.5 = - 0.4 + b

- Add 0.4 to both sides

∴ 1.9 = b

∴ y = -0.2 x + 1.9

The equation of the line is y = -0.2 x + 1.9

∵ m = 4

∵ y = m x + b

∴ y = 4 x + b

∵ Point (3 , 15) lies on the line

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

of the given point

∵ x = 3 and y = 15

∴ 15 = 4(3) + b

∴ 15 = 12 + b

- Subtract 12 from both sides

∴ 3 = b

∴ y = 4 x + 3

The equation of the line is y = 4 x + 3

∵ The line has the same slope of line y = 1

- The line whose equation y = 1 is a horizontal line

∵ The slope of the line y = 1 is zero because it is a horizontal line

∴ m = zero

∵ y = m x + b

∴ The equation of the line is y = (0)x + b

∴ y = b

∵ The line passes through point (3 , -8)

- In the horizontal line the y-coordinates of all point lie on the line

are equal

∴ The line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -8)

∴ b = -8

∴ y = -8

The equation of the line is y = -8

∵ m = 2

∵ y-intercept is at point (0 , 4)

∴ b = 4

∵ y = m x + b

∴ y = 2 x + 4

The equation of the line is y = 2 x + 4
