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.

miskamm [114]

Based on the information given the original size of the bottle is 17.5 ounces.

Using this formula

Original size of the bottle =New bottle size / Percentage increase

Where:

New bottle size=18.4 ounces

Percentage increase=(1+0.05)=1.05

Let plug in the formula

Original size of the bottle=18.4/(1+0.05)

Original size of the bottle=18.4/1.05

Original size of the bottle=17.5 ounces

Inconclusion the original size of the bottle is 17.5 ounces.

Which number line best shows the position of square root of 13?
BaLLatris [955]
I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Mr. Sato needs 9 more magnets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 24 students will form 12 pairs. The total number of magnets needed is 12*3 = 36. Mr. Sato  gave out 9*3=27 magnets already and so he will need 36 - 27 = 9 more magnets.
