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.)

Answer:

Question 4:  y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x

Question 5: y=-5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope of the line and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

<u>Question 4</u>

<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two points that pass through the line are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}

Therefore, the slope of the line is \displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}. Plug this into y=mx+b as the slope (<em>m</em>):

y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (<em>b</em>) is 0. Plug this into y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b:

y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x

<u>Question 5</u>

<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-5x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (<em>b</em>) is -3. Plug this into y=-5x+b:

y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3

I hope this helps!

How to find imaginary zeros anf real zeros of F(x)=-4x^5-8x^3+12x​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x=\{0, -1, 1, -i\sqrt{3}, i\sqrt{3}\}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x)=-4x^5-8x^3+12x

And we want to finds its zeros.

Therefore:

0=-4x^5-8x^3+12x

Firstly, we can divide everything by -4:

0=x^5+2x^3-3x

Factor out an x:

0=x(x^4+2x^2-3)

This is in quadratic form. For simplicity, we can let:

u=x^2

Then by substitution:

0=x(u^2+2u-3)

Factor:

0=x(u+3)(u-1)

Substitute back:

0=x(x^2+3)(x^2-1)

By the Zero Product Property:

x=0\text{ and } x^2+3=0\text{ and } x^2-1=0

Solving for each case:

x=0\text{ and } x=\pm\sqrt{-3}\text{ and } x=\pm\sqrt{1}

Therefore, our real and complex zeros are:

x=\{0, -1, 1, -i\sqrt{3}, i\sqrt{3}\}

Keisha bought 1.2 pounds of Swiss cheese that was selling for $5.95 per pound.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Keisha paid $7.0805

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you already know that 1 pound equals $5.95. Secondly, you have to solve 5.95 divided by 10, which is 0.595. However, the question is asking for 0.2 pounds! Therefore, 0.595 * 2 = 1.19.

But we're not done yet! We still have to find the amount of money in all. 5.95 * 1.19 = 7.0805 The sum of money in all is $7.0805

Hope this helps!
