<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Given : The number of children a family plans to have = 7

If the boys and girls are equally likely, then the probability of getting a girl = probability of getting boy = \dfrac{1}{2}=0.5

Now, the probability  that there will be at least one girl​ will be:-

P(atleast one girl) = 1- P(all boys)

=1-(\dfrac{1}{2})^7\\\\=1-0.0078125\\\\=0.9921875

Hence, the probability that there will be at least one girl​ = 0.9921875

Since ,0.9921875 > 0.5  

It means the event is likely to happen.   [∵Any event E is likely to happen if P(E)>0.5]

Therefore, the probability is high enough for the couple to be very confident that they will get at least one girl in 7 ​children.

Hello everybody. Can somebody please help me on this math question
Nutka1998 [239]

Answers:

<em>See below.</em>

Step-by-step explanations:

(A) This equation evaluates the cost to ship 100 lbs of wheat, which equals $130:

C(100) = 1.28(100) + 2

C(100) = 128 + 2

C(100) = 130

(B) The cost to ship 250 lbs of wheat would be $322:

C(250) = 1.28(250) + 2

C(250) = 320 + 2

C(250) = 322

(C) If you had $50, you could ship 37.5 lb of wheat:

C(x) = 50

C(x) = 48 + 2

C(x) = 1.28(37.5) + 2

How much money should be invested in an account that earns 8% interest compounded quarterly to yield $10,000 in 4 years? (Round
sweet [91]

Answer:

757,576cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount = $10000

Time = 4years

Rate = 8%

n = 1/4 year (compounded quarterly

Using the formula to get the principal

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

10000 = P(1+0.08/0.25)^4(1/4)

10000 = P(1+0.32)

10000= 1.32P

P = 10000/1.32

P = 7575.76

Hence he suppose to invest $7575.76 which is equivalent to 7575.76×100 cents i.e 757,576cents

Tyler has a baseball bat that weighs 28 ounces. Find this weight in kilograms and in grams.
brilliants [131]

Answer

28 ounces = 793.79 grams

28 ounces = 0.79 kilograms.

Step by step explanation

1 ounce = 28.3495 grams

Now let's convert 28 into grams.

Here we have to multiply 28 by 28.3495

28 x 28.3495 = 793.787 grams

Now let's convert 793.787 into kilograms

1 kilograms = 1000 grams

793.787 grams = 0.79 kilograms
