Assume the probability of having a boy or a girl is the same. What is the probability a family has three boys?

1 answer:

3 0

The probability of having a boy: 1/2

1/2(1/2)(1/2)=1/8

The probability of a family having three boys is 1/8.

Hope this helps!

Volumen of A Solid

Given a solid with a shape of a constant base B and height H, the volume is:

V = BH

The height of the solid is 1 1/4 ft. We need to calculate the area of the base.

The base consists of a larger rectangle from which has been taken a smaller rectangle.

The larger rectangle has dimensions of 9 ft by 6 ft, thus its area is:

A1 = 9 ft * 6 ft = 54 square ft

The smaller rectangle has dimensions of 2 1/2 ft by 4 ft.

The second dimension was calculated as the difference between 9 ft and 2 ft plus 3 ft. (9 ft - 3 ft - 2 ft = 4 ft).

The area of the smaller rectangle is:

A2 = 2 1/2 * 4

The mixed fraction 2 1/2 is converted to improper fraction:

2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2 = 5/2

Thus, the area is:

A2 = 5/2 * 4

A2 = 10 square feet

The area of the base is A1 - A2 = 54 square feet - 10 square feet = 44 square feet

B = 44 square feet.

Now for the volume:

V = 44 square feet * 1 1/4 feet

Again the mixed fraction is converted to a single fraction:

1 1/4 = 1 + 1/4 = 5/4

V = 44 square feet * 5/4 feet

V = 55 cubic feet

The figure shown in the picture is a rectangular shape that is missing a triangular piece. To determine the area of the figure you have to determine the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangular piece, then you have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle.

The rectangular shape has a width of 12 inches and a length of 20 inches. The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiplication of the width (w) and the length (l), following the formula:

$A=w\cdot l$

For our rectangle w=12 in and l=20 in, the area is:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{rectangle}}=12\cdot20 \\ A_{\text{rectangle}}=240in^2 \end{gathered}$

The triangular piece has a height of 6in and its base has a length unknown. Before calculating the area of the triangle, you have to determine the length of the base, which I marked with an "x" in the sketch above.

The length of the rectangle is 20 inches, the triangular piece divides this length into three segments, two of which measure 8 inches and the third one is of unknown length.

You can determine the value of x as follows:
