Answer:

The probability of selecting a family with exactly one male child is 1/4 or 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

possible outcomes for the children's genders

{FFFF, FFFM,​ FFMF, FMFF,​ MFFF, MFFM,​ MFMF, MMFF,​ FFMM, FMFM,​ FMMF, FMMM,​ MFMM, MMFM,​ MMMF, MMMM}

= 16

To find,

the probability of selecting a family with exactly one male child

<h3>Probability = favourable outcomes / possible outcomes</h3>

favourable outcomes = {FFFM,​ FFMF, FMFF,​ MFFF}

                                    = 4

Probability = 4 / 16

                  = 1 / 4

                  = 0.25

Answer:

The probability of selecting a family with exactly one male child is 1/16  

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the family of four children. Total possible outcomes are

{FFFF, FFFM,​ FFMF, FMFF,​ MFFF, MFFM,​ MFMF, MMFF,​ FFMM, FMFM,​ FMMF, FMMM,​ MFMM, MMFM,​ MMMF, MMMM}

Possible outcome with one male child are {FFFM,​ FFMF, FMFF,​ MFFF}

Total = 16

With 1 male = 4

Probability (P) of one male = 4/16

P = 1/16

Let f(x)=(18)3^x. find the equation of the line between the points (-2,f(-2)) and (1,f(1))
horsena [70]

\text{Given that,} \\\\f(x) = 18 \cdot 3^x \\\\f(-2) = 18 \cdot 3^{-2} = 2\\\\f(1) = 18 \cdot 3^1 = 54\\ \\\text{So,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (x_1, f(-2)) = (-2,2) ~\text{and}~ (x_2,y_2) = (x_2, f(1)) = (1,54)\\ \\\text{Slope,}~ m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{54-2}{1+2} = \dfrac{52}3 \\\\

\text{Equation of line,}\\\\~~~~~~~y - y_1 = m (x-x_1)\\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Point-Slope form.]} \\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3x + \dfrac{104}3\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}{3}x + \dfrac{104} 3 +2\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}3 x +\dfrac{110}3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Slope -Intercept form}]
