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

Determine whether the statements in (a) and (b) are logically equivalent.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The two statements are logically equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the statement that Bob is a double math and computer science major.

Y be the statement that Ann is a maths major.

Z be the statement that Ann is a double maths and computer science major.

The two statements written in terms of X, Y and Z now

a. Bob is a double math and computer science major and Ann is a math major, but Ann is not a double math and computer science major.

(x and y) and not z

b. It is not the case that both Bob and Ann are double math and computer science majors, but it is the case that Ann is a math major and Bob is a double math and computer science major.

not (x and z) and (x and y)

Noting that for logical statements,

Negation is represented by ~

And is represented by conjunction sign Λ

Or is represented by disjunction sign V

(x and y) and not z

(x Λ y) Λ (~z)

not (x and z) and (x and y)

~(x Λ z) Λ (x Λ y)

We can then simplify the second statement to obtain the first statement and prove the equivalence of both sides

~(x Λ z) Λ (x Λ y)

Using DE MORGAN'S theory, ~(x Λ z) = (~x) V (~z)

~(x Λ z) Λ (x Λ y) = ((~x) V (~z)) Λ (x Λ y)

Then applying the distributive law to the expression, we can open the bracket up

((~x) V (~z)) Λ (x Λ y)

= ((~x) Λ (x Λ y)) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

Opening the first bracket up further

((~x) Λ (x Λ y)) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= ((~x) Λ x) Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

The NEGATION law shows that (~x Λ x) = c (where c is a negation law parameter for when two opposite statements are combined in this manner, it works like a 0 in operation)

((~x) Λ x) Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= (c Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

But (c Λ y) = (y Λ c) = c (according to the UNIVERSALLY BOUND law, see how c works like a 0 now?)

(c Λ y) V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= c V ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= ((~z) Λ (x Λ y)) V c (commutative)

And one of the foremost IDENTITY laws is that (any statement) V c = c

((~z) Λ (x Λ y)) V c

= ((~z) Λ (x Λ y))

= (x Λ y) Λ (~z)

Which is the same as the first statement!

PROVED!!!

Hope this Helps!!!

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza cost $8. Each additional inch cost
Katyanochek1 [597]

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches orr larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8 and each additional costs $1.50 and each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents the cost of a pizza is:

P = $10 + $1.50a + $0.75b

Where 'a' represents the number additional inches and 'b' represents the number of additional toppings.
