The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
7.8 × 10⁷
Explanation:
To write a number in scientific notation, we want the decimal behind the first non-zero digit in the number. The first non-zero digit in 78 is 7; this means we want 7.8. In order to have the decimal point behind the 7, we need to move the decimal 7 places. This is the exponent of 10 in our scientific notation, which gives us
7.8 × 10⁷
(1) p x q = 1575
(2) p / q = 9 / 2
divide 1 by 2 to eliminate p:
q^2 = 1575 / (9/2)
q^2 = 350
q = sqrt(350)
Substitue q in either 1 or 2 to find p.
We assume that male and female births are equally likely, it means that the probability of birth of male= probability of birth of female = 100%/2=50% or 0.5We have 2 independent events. So what will be the variants:
Male and FemaleMale and Male Female and Male Female and Female
All four variants are equally likely.Probability of each one is 1/4 = 0.25.So, Result "Female and Female"
are probability = 0.250 --- if round to three decimal places.
Because this is addition, you must reverse the process by (maybe) doing x/3 and 8/1 or 7/1. Cross multiply the numerators and denominators.
