The all possible eight outcomes of boy or girl birth when a couple have three children is

(GBB) , (GBG), (GGB) , (GGG), (BBG), (BGB), (BGG), (BBB)

Where B represents boy and G represents Girl

The probability that having exactly 1 girl is

= Number of outcomes with one girl / Total numbers of outcomes

Now Number of outcomes with only one girl = GBB, BGB, BBG = 3

So the probability will be

The probability that having exactly 1 girl is = 3/8 = 0.375

The probability that when a couple has three​ children, there is exactly 1 girl is 0.375

Which of the following equations is the translation 2 units down of the graph of y = |x |?
Sveta_85 [38]
Y=|x|-2

this can be easily seen by testing f(0) for all functions:
f1(0)=|0-2|=2
f2(0)=|x+2|=2
f3(0)=|x|-2=-2
f4(0)=|x|+2=2

f(0)=|x|=0, because you want to translate it 2 units down -2 is the expected value
