The Blair family was one of the first to come to the original 13 colonies (now part of the USA). They had 4 children. Assuming t

Mumz [18]

Answer:

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a girl, or it was not. The probability of a child being a girl is independent of any other children. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

They had 4 children.

This means that $n = 4$

The probability of a child being a girl is 0.5

This means that $p = 0.5$

Probability of at least 3 children:

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.25$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.0625$

$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.25 + 0.0625 = 0.3125$

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

Factor: m^2 - 20m - 21

Anton [14]

Answer: (m-21)(m+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor this trinomial, find two numbers that multiply to -21 and add to -20:

(-21)(1)=-21

-21+1=-20

They are -21 and 1.

Add -21 and 1 to m to get both factors:

(m+(-21)) and (m+1)

(m-21) and (m+1)

Multiply them to get the answer:

(m-21)(m+1)
