Answer:

0.813

0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability.

P = nCr p^r q^(n−r)

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

In this problem, n = 5, p = 0.5, and q = 0.5.

"At least 2 girls" means r = 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Or, we can use the complement.

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − P(at most 1 girl)

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − P(r=0 or r=1)

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − ₅C₁ (0.5)¹ (0.5)⁵⁻¹ − ₅C₀ (0.5)⁰ (0.5)⁵⁻⁰

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − 5 (0.5) (0.5)⁴ − 1 (1) (0.5)⁵

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − 6 (0.5)⁵

P(at least 2 girls) ≈ 0.813

"At most 2 girls" means r = 0, 1, or 2.

P(at most 2 girls) = P(r=0, r=1, or r=2)

P(at most 2 girls) = ₅C₀ (0.5)⁰ (0.5)⁵⁻⁰ + ₅C₁ (0.5)¹ (0.5)⁵⁻¹ + ₅C₂ (0.5)² (0.5)⁵⁻²

P(at most 2 girls) = 1 (1) (0.5)⁵ + 5 (0.5) (0.5)⁴ + 10 (0.5)² (0.5)³

P(at most 2 girls) = 16 (0.5)⁵

P(at most 2 girls) = 0.500

Answer:

1.- 140 in²

2.- 2.25 in²

3.- 43.25 in²

4.- 7.5 in²

5. 349.75 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

4 congruent triangles mean 4 triangles same measurement

area 1 triangle=(B*H)/2=(10*7)/2=35in²

for area of the roof are 4 by area 1 triangle=4*35=140 in²

2.- area hole. Hole is a square so area Is side by side

area=1.5*1.5=2.25

3.- area front except the hole. As the side of front is isosceles trapezoide which it’s area is (B1+B2)H/2 where B1=8 in and B2=5 in and H=7 in

so arera with hole=(8+5)*7/2=45.5 in²
