Answer:

The second pair of grandparents have approximately 12 to 19 boys as grandchildren.

Explanation:

The probability of a grandchild being a girl or a boy is same, i.e., \frac{1}{2}.

The first pair of grandparents have 4 grandchildren.

The second pair of grandparents have 32 grandchildren.

If first pair of grandparents have between 40% to 60% boys as grandchildren then the number of boys are in the limit,

(40\%\ of 4,\ 60\%\ of 4)=(1.6, 2.4)\approx(2, 3)

Thus, the first pair of grandparents have approximately 2 to 3 boys as grandchildren.

If second pair of grandparents have between 40% to 60% boys as grandchildren then the number of boys are in the limit,

(40\%\ of 32,\ 60\%\ of 32)=(12.8, 19.2)\approx(13, 19)

Thus, the second pair of grandparents have approximately 12 to 19 boys as grandchildren.

So, it is clear that the second pair of grandparents are more likely to have between​ 40% and​ 60% boys as​ grandchildren.

Also according to the law of large numbers as the sample size increases the probability of an event gets closer to the theoretical probability.

Which one is NOT one of the properties of water?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

a. the frozen form is more dense than the liquid form

Explanation:

The remaining properties are exhibited by water and are described as follows.

b. the frozen form is less dense than the liquid form

1. Water freezes to form ice.

2. When ice is put in water, ice starts floating in water and is visible.

3. If the density of ice was greater than water, ice would have got sunk and go downwards in the water body.

4. Hence, ice which is frozen form of water, has less density than water.

c. water is a solvent

1. The solvency is defined as the ability of a liquid to dissolve a substance.

2. Water is called the universal solvent. This means water can dissolve almost all types of substances.

3. Water is a polar solvent. The polar water molecules have the ability to break down both ionic and covalent bonds.

d. water has a high heat capacity

1. This is defined as the amount of heat needed by 1 gram of a substance so that its temperature is changed by 1 degree centigrade. The heat can either be gained or lost for the temperature to change.

2. The heat required by 1 gram of water to either increase or decrease the temperature of water is called the heat capacity of water.

e. water has a high heat of evaporation

1. This is defined as the amount of heat needed by 1 gram of a substance so that it changes its state from liquid to gas.

2. The heat required to convert 1 gram of water into vapours is called the heat of evaporation of water.

3. 1 g of water when heated at 25 centigrade needs 580 calories of heat to convert into gas.

All the above properties of water show the importance of water for life.
