Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells lose their flexibility and assume an abnormal, rigid, �sick

le� shape, which results in a risk of various complications. If both parents are carriers of the disease, then a child has a 25% chance of having the disease, 50% chance of being a carrier, and 25% chance of neither having the disease nor being a carrier. If two parents who are carriers of the disease have 3 children, what is the probability that
(a) two will have the disease? (b) none will have the disease?

(c) at least one will neither have the disease nor be a carrier? (d) the first child with the disease will the be 3rd child?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

  • p ( probability that the child has disease) = 25% = 0.25
  • n = number of children = 3

The probability mass function of binomial distribution is,

  • (P = X) = (nCx) X (p)^x X (1 - p)^n-x ; x = 0, 1, 2 ,3
  • = 3Cx X (0.25)^x X (1 - 0.25)^3-x ; ( n = 3, p = 0.25

a) P ( two will have disease)

p ( X = 2) = 3C2 X (0.250^2 X (1 - 0.25) ^3-2

= 0.1406

b) P ( none will have disease)

p (X = 0) = 3C0 X (0.25)^0 X (1 - 0.25)^3-0

= 0.4219

c) P (neither having the disease nor being a carrier) = 25% = 0.25

The probability that at least one will neither having the disease nor being a carrier ;

P(X> or equals to) = 1 - P(X < 1)

= 1 - P( X = 0)

= 1 - 3C0 X (0.25)^0 X (1 - 0.25)^3-0

= 0.5781

d) p( the first child with the disease will the be 3rd child)

P(X = x) = (1-p)^x-1 X p

p( X= x) = ( 1 - 0.25 )^x -1 X 0.25

for third child = P(X = 3) = (1 - 0.25)^3-1 X (0.25)

= 0.1406

Keller collected $62.48 and Izzy collected $47.83 and J collected $19.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that J collected $x, Keller collected $y and Izzy collected $z. All three combined collected $125.95, so

x + y + z = 125.95, take this as equation 1.

From the given data, the following equations can be formed.

y = 42.50 + x or x = y - 42.50 take this as equation 2 and

y = 15 + z, take this as equation 3.

Step 2; Now we must determine x and y in terms of z, so that equation 1 can be solved (the equations can be in terms of any term x, y or z.)

Rearranging equation 2 and 3,

we get 15 + z so  x = y - 42.50, y = x = 15 + z - 42.50, take this as equation 4,

If we substitute equations 4, 2 in 1, we get

(15 + z - 42.50) + (15 + z) + z = 125.95,

3z - 12.5 = 129.95,

3z = 142.45, so z = 47.833.

Substitute z = 47.833 in equation 3.

y = 15 + 47.8333 = 62.4833.

Substitute y = 62.4833 in equation 2,

x = 62.4833 - 42.50 = 19.9833.

Rounding of the values of x,y, and z to nearest hundredth we get

x = $19.98, y = $62.48 and z = $47.48.

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of the linear equation 3x-6y=2
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to note that the x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. So we plug in y = 0 and see what the x value is.

3x - 6y = 2

3x - 6(0) = 2

3x = 2

x = 2/3

The y-intercept is the opposite. It is the y value when x = 0. So we do the same with the other term.

3x - 6y = 2

3(0) - 6y = 2

-6y = 2

y = -2/6

y = -1/3
