<h2>Answer:</h2>

Probability=\frac{1}{24}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As the question states,

John's brother has Galactosemia which states that his parents were both the carriers.

Therefore, the chances for the John to have the disease is = 2/3

Now,

Martha's great-grandmother also had the disease that means her children definitely carried the disease means probability of 1.

Now, one of those children married with a person.

So,

Probability for the child to have disease will be = 1/2

Now, again the child's child (Martha) probability for having the disease is = 1/2.

Therefore,

<u>The total probability for Martha's first child to be diagnosed with Galactosemia will be,</u>

Probability=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}\\Probability=\frac{1}{24}

(Here, we assumed that the child has the disease therefore, the probability was taken to be = 1/4.)

<em><u>Hence, the probability for the first child to have Galactosemia is \frac{1}{24}</u></em>

How many tickets were sold after June 15th?
AysviL [449]

Answer: About 45.

Step-by-step explanation: There's always a pattern in these kinds of questions, you can see for 9th to 13th August, the number has always been  between 20 to 40. And since on 13th August the graph is on a rise again, it would be around 45. 90 is just not realistic considering there's only an increase of around 5-10 tickets every day.

What is the radius of a circle given by equation x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
Lera25 [3.4K]
X^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y = 47
(x^2 - 2x) + (y^2 + 8y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x) + (y^2 + 2(4)y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x + 1^2) + (y^2 + 2(4)y + 4^2) = 47 + 1^2 + 4^2
(x - 1)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 64 = 8^2
