The probability of there being zero males is given by:
P(zero\ males)=4C0\times0.5^{0}\times0.5^{4}=\frac{1}{16}
Similarly the probability of there being zero females is also 1/16.
The probability there will be at least 1 male and 1 female is therefore:
1-(\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16})=\frac{7}{8}
The answer is: 7/8.

Answer

If you didn't it there wouldn't be an easy method to do the problem.Having the same denominator is the easiest method and is pretty basic.If you didn't have a common denominator such as:5/8 + 7/6, it would be virtually impossible to solve.

After eliminating radicals, what quadratic equation can you solve to find the potential solutions of sqrt 2x+3 - sqrt x+1 = 1
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

√2x+3 - √x+1  = 1

First of all isolate the square root of the left hand side:

√2x+3 = √x+1 +1

Now take square on both sides.

(√2x+3)^2 = (√x+1 +1)^2

Open the R.H.S by squaring formula.

∴(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

2x+3 = (√x+1)^2 + 2(√x+1)(1)+(1)^2

2x+3 = x+1 +2√x+1 +1

2x+3 = x+2 +2√x+1

Combine the like terms:

2x-x+3-2 = 2√x+1

x+1 = 2√x+1

Take square on both sides

(x+1)^2 = (2√x+1)^2

x²+2x+1 = 4x+4

x²+2x-4x+1-4 = 0

x²-2x-3 = 0

Now solve the quadratic equation:

a = 1 , b= -2 , c = -3

x = -b+/-√b²-4ac/2a

x = -(-2)+/-√(-2)² - 4(1)(-3) / 2(1)

x = 2 +/- √4+12 / 2

x = 2+/- √16/2

x = 2+/- 4 /2

x = 2+4/2     , x = 2-4/2

x = 6/2      , x = -2/2

x = 3      , x = -1

The solutions we get is (3, -1).

A statistical test is conducted to see if there is evidence that the proportion of US citizens who can name the capital city of
Delvig [45]

Answer:

a) Sample A

b) Sample D

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample that will provide the most significance evidence for the claim is the one that has the bigger proportion of US citizens who can name the capital city of Canada.

The sample that has the bigger proportion is Sample A, with p=38/40=0.95.

The samples that have a proportion of 0.75 of less surely will give no evidence for the claim.

The sample D has a proportion of p=27/40=0.675, which is less than 0.75, so it doesn't provide evidence for the claim.

Sample C has a proportion of 0.775. Is very close to 0.75, but its value as evidence depends on the level of significance of the test.
