If a couple plans to have 7 ​children, what is the probability that there will be at least one girl​? Assume boys and girls are

equally likely. Is that probability high enough for the couple to be very confident that they will get at least one girl in 7 ​children?

<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.

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 1.6 and height of 6.2?
qaws [65]
You can find the area of a hemisphere by using the following equation

V = (2/3) (pi)*r^3

so V = (2/3) (pi)*1.6^3

Which comes out as 8.5786423394 or 8.6

Which choice answer is it
fomenos

Answer:

choice 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = πr²h ( isolate r² by dividing both sides by πh )

\frac{V}{\pi h} = r² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h} } = r ← the positive value of r

A professor at a local university noted that the exam grades of her students were normally distributed with a mean of 73 and a s
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The minimum score of those who received C's is 67.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 73, \sigma = 11

If 69.5 percent of the students received grades of C or better, what is the minimum score of those who received C's?

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.695 = 0.305. So it is X when Z = -0.51.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.51 = \frac{X - 73}{11}

X - 73 = -0.51*11

X = 67.39

The minimum score of those who received C's is 67.39.
