In China, where many couples were allowed to have only one child, the probability of a baby being a boy was 0.545. Among six ran

domly selected births in China, what is the probability that at least one of them is a girl? Could this system continue to work indefinitely? (Phasing out of this policy was begun in 2015.)

Answer: 0.9738

Step-by-step explanation:

This is solved by the probability distribution formula for random variables where probability of determining random variable X is given by

P(X=r) = nCr * p^r * q^n-r

Where n = number of sample = 6

p = probability of success = 0.545

q = 1-p = 0.455

r = possible outcome from number of sample.

If 6 random births are chosen, Probability that at least 1 of them is a girl = 1 -[probability that none of them is a girl] = 1 - [probability that all 6 kids are boys]

Probability that all 6 kids are boys = 6C6 * 0.545^6 * 0.455^0 = 0.0262

Probability that at least one is a girl = 1 - 0.0262 = 0.9738.

The country of Sylvania has decided to reduce the number of its illiterate citizens by 3/5 each year. This year there are 9000 i
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

P(t)= 9000(0.4)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we have an exponential function as follows;

P(t)= I(1 - r)^t

This case represents a decay ( decrease in value)

from what we have;

I represents the initial value, whereas r is the rate of change

From the question, we have that the change rate is the fraction 3/5

Writing this as a decimal, it is 0.6

substituting this back into the equation, we have;

P(t)= I(1-0.6)^t

P(t)= I(0.4)^t

I in this case is 9,000

So we have it that;

P(t) = 9000(0.4)^t
