Answer:
The procedure results in a binomial distribution
Step-by-step explanation:
If all 120 couples used the YSORT method, it is fair to assume that the probability of a baby being a boy or a girl are constant through all trials (120 couples). Assuming 120 randomly selected couples, there is a fixed number of independent trials. Finally, since the babies can only be a boy or a girl, the binary condition is satisfied and thus, the distribution is binomial
You would be subtracting by 5 so the next three would be -16, -21, -26
After every month's withdrawals, 4/5 of the original amount at the start of the month will remain. The amount at the start of every month will change. Thus:
an = 4/5 (an-1) ; where a1 = 500.
This answer is correct. The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0, and we are looking for an absolute value of 1. Both -1 and 1 are 1 whole number away from 0.
