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.)

Find the inverse function. f (x)=1/2x+6
Lana71 [14]

The inverse of this function is f(x) = 2x - 12.

You can find the inverse of any function by switching the f(x) and x values in the equation. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The result is your inverse function. The work for this one is below.

f(x) = 1/2x + 6 ----> switch f(x) and x

x = 1/2f(x) + 6 ----> subtract 6

x - 6 = 1/2f(x) ----> multiply by 2

2x - 12 = f(x) ----> change the order for consistency.

f(x) = 2x - 12

(x+14)-(8-2x) equivalent to
kipiarov [429]
We are given the expression (x + 14) - (8 - 2x). The question is asking us to simplify this expression, and we can do that by first using the distributive property. This gives us x + 14 - 8 + 2x. Now, just combine like terms, which gives us 3x + 6. Therefore, the answer to your query is 3x + 6. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!
