Answer:

P(X=0) = 0.25

P(X=1) = 0.50

P(X=2) = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcomes of this event are: BB, BG, GB and GG.

There is one out of four events (GG) in which there are two girls (X=2).

There is one out of four events (BB) in which there are no girls(X=0).

There are two out of four events (GB and BG)) in which there is one girl (X=1).

Therefore, the probability distribution of X is:

P(X=0) = 1/4 = 0.25

P(X=1) = 2/4 = 0.50

P(X=2) = 1/4 = 0.25

Write the function AG(X) representing the area of the garden in terms of x.
k0ka [10]

The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.

A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).

The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.

The slope of this line is:   m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a

Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have:   y - b = m(x - 0)

                                                                      y = (-b/a)x + b

Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx

Alex did the most amount of the homework assignment because if you turn them all into a fraction with a common denominator, Alex would have the most.

The fractions will be 80/120, 60/120, 60/120, and 105/120 which is Alex.
