<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.

inysia [295]

Answer:

Number of trucks (y) that can be shipped if the number of cars (x) is known=\frac{21,600-3.6x}{7.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A cargo ship can carry 21,600 Tons.

Let x denotes number of cars and y denotes number of trucks.

The cars weigh 3.6 tons each and the trucks weigh 7.5 tons each.

Therefore,

3.6x+7.5y=21,600

Now write y in terms of x.

7.5y=21,600-3.6x\\y=\frac{21,600-3.6x}{7.5}

Number of trucks (y) that can be shipped if the number of cars (x) is known=\frac{21,600-3.6x}{7.5}

Previously 5% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

p value = 0.03514

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotheses would be

H_0: p = 0.05\\H_a: p

(left tailed test at 10% level of significance)

Here p stands for the sample proportion of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy.

Sample size =130

persons who smoked = 2

Sample proportion = \frac{2}{130} \\=0.0154

Assuming H0 to be true

Std error= \sqrt{0.05*0.95/130} \\=0.01911

p difference = -0.0346

Test statistic z=-1.81

p value = 0.03514

Since p is less than 0.10, significance level, we reject H0
