Consider a family with 4 children. Assume the probability that one child is a boy is 0.5 and the probability that one child is a

girl is also 0.5, and that the events "boy" and "girl" are independent.
(a) List the equally likely events for the gender of the 4 children, from oldest to youngest. (Let M represent a boy (male) and F represent a girl (female). Select all that apply.) MMFF, FFFF, MMMF, two M's two F's, MFFF, FMMM, FFMF, FMFF, three M's one F, FFFM, MFFM, MFMF, one M three F's, FMFM, FMMF, MMFM, MMMM, FFMM, MFMM

(b) What is the probability that all 4 children are male? (Enter your answer as a fraction.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Notice that the complement of the event "all four children are male" is "at least one of the children is female." Use this information to compute the probability that at least one child is female. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)

The amount and the concentration of a salt solution is given. How much salt would you get if you evaporated all water from this
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

40.5 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how much salt is in 450 g of a 9% salt solution.

Note that

450 g - 100%,

x g - 9%,

then

\dfrac{450}{x}=\dfrac{100}{9},\\ \\x=\dfrac{450\cdot 9}{100}=40.5\ g.

If you evaporated all water from this solution, then you would get 40.5 g of salt.

Need help on this please help
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The measure of ∠A is 127°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180°. Since you can fix <em>three</em> triangles into a pentagon, the sum of its interior of angles is 540° You could also look at how many angles there are (5), multiply that number by 180°, then subtract 360° from the product.

540° - (113° + 80° + 130° + 90°) = ∠A

540° - 413° = 127°

∠A = 127°

<em>Hope this helps,</em>
