Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS

ORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples. a.) Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x=0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 couples

            r = number of success

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability

                   of a girl, i.e.; p = 0.5

<em><u>Let X = Numbers of girls in groups of 36 births </u></em>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 36, p = 0.5)

Now, mean for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

         <u>Mean</u>, E(X) = n \times p = 36 \times 0.5 = 18

Also, standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

        <u>Standard deviation</u>, S.D.(X) =  \sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}

                                                      =  \sqrt{36\times 0.5\times (1-0.5)}

                                                      =  3

Lloyd solves the equation 24x + 18(x – 2) = 216 for x. Some of his steps are shown.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

To get from step 3 to step 4, Lloyd added 36 to both sides. On the left side, this equaled 0 due to the additive inverse property! (-36 + 36 = 0!) On the right side, 36 is added to 216! (216+36 = 252)

Ina two digit number, the units digit is twice the tens digit. If the number is doubled, it will be 9 more than the number rever
lukranit [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the digits of the number be represented by t for the tens digit and u for the units digit.

  u = 2t . . . . . . . . the units digit is twice the tens digit

  2(10t +u) = (10u +t) +9 . . . . . double the number is 9 more than its reverse

Substituting for u, we have ...

  2(10t +2t) = 10(2t) +t +9

  24t = 21t +9 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  3t = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21t

  t = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  u = 2t = 6 . . . . find u

The number is 36.
