Probability of the next six babies being a girl = (0.4810)^6 = 0.0124
Therefore probability of at least one boy in next six births = 1 - 0.0124
= 0.9876 Answer
Answer:
-1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
lim x approaches -6 (sqrt( 10-x) -4) / (x+6)
Rationalize
(sqrt( 10-x) -4) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
------------------- * -------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
We know ( a-b) (a+b) = a^2 -b^2
a= ( sqrt(10-x) b = 4
(10-x) -16
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-6-x
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Factor out -1 from the numerator
-1( x+6)
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Cancel x+6 from the numerator and denominator
-1
-------------------
(sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Now take the limit
lim x approaches -6 -1/ (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-1/ (sqrt( 10- -6) +4)
-1/ (sqrt(16) +4)
-1 /( 4+4)
-1/8
