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.)

Rusty's hair grows at the rate of 1 over 4 inch per month.
Nadya [2.5K]
1/4 = 2/8. Remember that. This means that 1/8 is equal to half of a month. It there is 5/8, you can add a half month for every eights. In this case, it will take 2 and a half months
Easy Way:<span>If your hair were to grow 1/4 inches a month, it would also grow 2/8 inches a month, since 1/4 = 2/8. How long with it take 1/8 (0.5/4)inches to grow? It would take a half of a month for your hair to grow 1/8 inches.
</span><span>Now that we know 1/8 inches grows in a half of a month, we add a half of a month for every eigths. Since we are trying to figure out how long it would take for it to grow 5/8 inches, we add 5 half months to get the answer of 2 and a half months. Kind of confusing, but that is the best way I can describe it.</span>

Identify the equation that translates y=ln(x) five units down.
kari74 [83]

We are given equation: y=ln(x) .

And translation is 5 units down.

We know the rule of transformation f(x) = y + k, if k is greater than 0 it would move up or if k is less than 0, it would move down.

For the given translation 5 unit down, 5 should be less than 0.

Number less than 0 are negative numbers.

So, we need to add -5 in the given function to ln(x).

So, we would get the final equation for five units down as

y =ln(x) - 5.

D is correct I believe since the values has an outlier it automatically gets rid of using mean. The dots are somewhat symmetrical. And for something to be skewed the dots are to be “connected”
