Answer:

The boat is 33 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The scale factor is a ratio between the drawing length and the

  actual length

- The two terms of the ratio must have the same unit, then the two

 terms of the scale factor must have the same units

* Lets solve the problem

- The scale drawing is 2 inches : 5 feet

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 5 feet = 5 × 12 = 60 inches

∴ The scale drawing is 2 : 60

- Simplify it by dividing each term by 2

∴ The scale factor is 1 : 30

∵ The length of the model boat is 13.2 inch

∴      1      :      30

      13.2  :  actual length

- By using cross multiplication

∴ The actual length = (13.2 × 30)/1 = 396 inches

∵ The actual length is 396 inches

∵ 1 inch = 1/12 feet

∴ The actual length of the boat = 396 × 1/12 = 33 feet

* The boat is 33 feet long

Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS
olganol [36]

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x=0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 couples

            r = number of success

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability

                   of a girl, i.e.; p = 0.5

<em><u>Let X = Numbers of girls in groups of 36 births </u></em>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 36, p = 0.5)

Now, mean for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

         <u>Mean</u>, E(X) = n \times p = 36 \times 0.5 = 18

Also, standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

        <u>Standard deviation</u>, S.D.(X) =  \sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}

                                                      =  \sqrt{36\times 0.5\times (1-0.5)}

                                                      =  3
