I believe this problem has 3 questions:

a. Explain why the three conditions are satisfied for X to have the binomial distribution.

b. Identify n and p for the binomial distribution.

c. Find the probability that the family has two girls and two boys.

 

Answers:

a. First because there are only 2 possible outcomes for each birth: male or female. Hence a binomial distribution. <span>
Second, because the probability of giving out a girl is constant: 0.49 for each birth. 
Third, the probability of a giving out a girl does not depend on whether or not there is already a boy or a girl in the family. </span>

b. The n is the total number of children, so n = 4

While the p is the success of being a girls, so P = 0.49

c. We use the binomial probability equation:

P (X) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

<span>P(X=2) = 4!/(2!2!) * 0.49^2 * 0.51^2 = 0.3747</span>

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Use <u>PEMDAS</u>

P = parenthesis

E = Exponents

M = Multiplication*

D = Division*

A = Addition**

S = Subtraction**

*either can come first, it just depends which comes first in the equation.

**either can come first, it just depends which comes first in the equation.

<em>Step 1 : Write equation</em>   4( 9 × 2 ) ÷ ( 4 -1 ) - 4

<em>Step 2: Solve in parenthesis   </em>4(18) ÷ (3) - 4

<em>Step 3: Solve multiplication   </em> 72 ÷ 3 - 4

<em>Step 4: Solve division               </em>24 - 4

<em>Step 5 : Solve subtraction</em>         20
