Answer:

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 0.50 = 50 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the family has two children, we need to find what is the probability they have one boy and one girl.

Probability for babies are boys = 51.3% = 0.513

Probability for babies are girls = 1 - 0.513 = 0.487

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 1 -  probability that they have two boys - probability that they have two girls

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 1 - 0.513² - 0.487² = 0.499 = 0.50

The probability they have one boy and one girl = 0.50 = 50%

How do I do this question
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Join OB.

∠A=∠A  (common)

\frac{AP}{AO} =\frac{\frac{1}{2} AO}{AO} =\frac{1}{2} \\\frac{AQ}{AB} =\frac{\frac{1}{2} AB}{AB} =\frac{1}{2} \\\frac{AP}{AO} =\frac{AQ}{AB}

∴ ΔAPO and ΔAOB are similar.

\frac{PQ}{OB} =\frac{1}{2} \\

∠P=∠O

∠Q=∠B

So PQ║OB

Similarly RS║OB

∴PQ║RS
