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

HELP<br> Write an equation of a line passing through (-8, 6) and parallel to the line y=-4x - 1
MArishka [77]

The line is parallel so it has the same slope as the other line, -4.

Substitute the x and y variables with the given points and find the y-intercept.

(-8, 6)

y = -4x + b

6 = -4(8) + b

6 = -32 + b

6 + 32 = b

38 = b

So the equation is:

y = -4 + 38

Answer:

21y^2+11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

4-3y(-7y)+7.2

combine like terms

-3y (-7y) = 21y^2

add 4 to 7.2

11.2

21y^2 + 11.2

I need help with all 3 please
olganol [36]

Step-by-step explanation:

x +2y = 9. .....(1)

x - 2y = 5. .....(2)

from eqn (1)

x + 2y = 9

x = 9 - 2y.

substitute x = 9 - 2y into eqn (2)

9 - 2y - 2y = 5

-4y = 5 - 9

-4y = -4

y = 1

sub y = 1 into eqn (1)

x + 2y = 9

x + 2(1) = 9

x + 2 = 9

x = 9 - 2

x = 7.

(2) x + y = 9 ....(1)

x - 2y = 0 .....(2)

from eqn (2)

x - 2y = 0

x =0 + 2y

substitute x = 2y into eqn (1)

x + y = 9

(2y) + y = 9

3y = 9

y = 3

substitute y = 3 into eqn (2)

x - 2y = 0

x - 2(3) = 0

x - 6 = 0

x = 6.

(3) 2x + 7y = 5. ....(1)

2x + 3y = 9. .....(2)

from eqn (1)

2x + 7y = 5

7y = 5 - 2x

y = (5 - 2x)/7

sub y = (5 - 2x)/7 into eqn (2)

2x + 3y = 9

2x + 3(5 - 2x)/7 = 9

2x + (15 - 6x)/7 = 9

multiply through by 7

14x + 15 - 6x = 63

14x - 6x = 63 - 15

8x = 48

x = 6

sub x = 6 into eqn (1)

2x + 7y = 5

2(6) + 7y = 5

12 + 7y = 5

7y = 5 - 12

7y = -7

y = -1

I need help answering question 1 and question 2
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y= 1-x² is quadratic because has the variable x to the second power

y = -x² +1 has quadratic term -x², and constant term is 1

2. y= 3x-5 +4x²

a. quadratic term is 4x² because has the variable x to the second power

b. linear term is 3x because has the variable x to the power of one

c. constant term is -5 because the variable x to the power 0 so there is no x
