Answer:
d = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₄ = 23 and a₁₁ = 65 , then
a₁ + 3d = 23 → (1)
a₁ + 10d = 65 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁
10d - 3d = 65 - 23
7d = 42 ( divide both sides by 7 )
d = 6
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.5 = 50% probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl.
For each child, there are only two possible outcomes, either it is a boy, or it is a girl. The probability of a child being a boy or being a girl is independent of any other child, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
In this problem:
- Two children, hence
.
- Equally as likely to be a boy or a girl, hence
.
The probability of one of each is P(X = 1), hence:
0.5 = 50% probability of selecting a two-child family with one boy and one girl.
