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>

What is the length of a hypotenuse of a triangle if each of its legs is 4 units
azamat

Answer:

\boxed{c = 5.7 units}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Using Pythagorean Theorem:</em></u>

=> c^2 = a^2+b^2

Where c is hypotenuse, a is base and b is perpendicular and ( a, b = 4)

=> c^2 = 4^2+4^2

=> c^2 = 16+16

=> c^2 = 32

Taking sqrt on both sides

=> c = 5.7 units
