Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.

Answer:
$5.99 for 1.5 lbs of gumballs
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to buy One and a half pounds of gumballs for $3.99 per pound. It is 3.99 for one pound of gumballs, so the price for half a pound of gumballs is half of that price.
3.99 / 2 = 1.995
Then add the price of 1 pound
3.99 + 1.995 = 5.985
Then you can round that up to 5.99
Answer:
y = 2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
With this information, we can create 2 points: (2, 9) and (5, 15)
Plug in the points:
(15 - 9) / (5 - 2)
6 / 3
= 2
Plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:
y = mx + b
15 = 2(5) + b
15 = 10 + b
5 = b
Plug in the slope and b into the equation:
y = 2x + 5 is the equation of the line
