Answer:
(a) Option A. independent
(b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Two events A and B are considered dependent if the occurrence of one affects the probability of occurrence of another.
In this case, the events are independent because the birth of a girl or a boy does not affect the probability of obtaining a 1 by throwing a 16-sided die.
In the same way, throwing a die and obtaining the number 1 does not affect the probability that a baby is a girl or a boy.
When two events are independent then

The probability that a baby is a girl is

The probability of obtaining a 1 when casting a 16-sided die is:

Then:


Answer:
2 is the answer that I would give. The question says <u>distinct</u> solutions does this graph have.
Step-by-step explanation:
You are asked only how many times this crosses the x axis. You are not asked for an exact value. So the thing to do is graph the polynomial.
y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 4
The graph says that x = -1 with a multiplicity of 1
It also says that x=2 is a solution with a multiplicity of 2 (meaning there are 2 roots are the same).
So this polynomial factors into y = (x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 2)
9189.15 ft (this is the answer and I have not rounded it)
