Answer:

(a) The sample space is: S = {bb, bg, gb, gg}

(b) The probability that the couple has two girl children is 0.25.

(c) The probability that the couple has exactly 1 boy and 1 girl child is 0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boy child is denoted by, <em>b</em>.

A girl child is denoted by, <em>g</em>.

(a)

A couple has two children.

The sample space for the possible gender of the two children are:

The couple can have two boys, two girls or 1 boy and 1 girl.

So the sample space is:

S = {bb, bg, gb, gg}

(b)

It is provided that the outcomes of the sample space <em>S</em> are equally likely, i.e. each outcome has the same probability of success.

Compute the probability that the couple has two girl children as follows:

P (2 Girls) = Favorable no. of outcomes ÷ Total no. of outcomes

                =\frac{1}{4} \\=0.25

Thus, the probability that the couple has two girl children is 0.25.

(c)

Compute the probability that the couple has exactly 1 boy and 1 girl child as follows:

P (1 boy & 1 girl) = Favorable no. of outcomes ÷ Total no. of outcomes

                          =\frac{2}{4} \\=0.50

Thus, the probability that the couple has exactly 1 boy and 1 girl child is 0.50.

A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 160 lbs and each b
german

Answer:

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)
