For any birth we have only two possible outcomes either boy or girl. So the chance of getting boy or girl on birth same which is 1/2.

The probability of getting baby boy or baby girl on any birth is

P(Boy) = P(Girl) = 0.5

If a couple has six children then probability that all are boys is

P( all six are boy) = (0.5)^6

= 0.015

The probability that all six are boy is 0.015

Which subset of the real numbers contains the square root of 50
Pie
There are an infinite number of such subsets. One of them is the set of real numbers in the interval (7, 8). Perhaps you're thinking "irrational" numbers, as opposed to "integers" or "rational" numbers.

Max and Emma are discussing their math homework and disagree on the answer for one question. Max says that integers are closed u
hram777 [196]

A set has closure under an operation if performance of that operation on members of the set always produces a member of the same set; in this case we also say that the set is closed under the operation.

A closure property is a certain rule that holds <u>if it is true for all elements of a set under the given operation</u> and a closure property does not hold <u>if there is at least one pair of elements that do not follow the closure property under the given operation.</u>

Therefore, Emma is correct, because you can find a counterexample (7:2=3.5) that gives you a non-integer answer.

Answer: correct option is B
