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.

2. In 2010, the population of a town is 8500. The population decreases by 4.5% each year.
Korvikt [17]
This exponential growth/decay (in this case decay because r<1) of the form:

f=ir^t, f=final value, i=initial value, r=common ratio or "rate", t=time.

Since the population decreases by 4.5% each year the common ratio is:

r=(100-4.5)/100=0.955 so we can say

P(t)=8500(0.955^t)  

....

7000=8500(0.955^t)

14/17=(955/1000)^t  taking the natural log of both sides

ln(14/17)=t ln(955/1000)

t=ln(14/17)/ln(955/1000)

t≈4.22 years (to nearest hundredth of a year)

Since t is the years since 2010, the population will fall to 7000 in the year (2010+4.22=2014.22, more than four years will have elapsed) 2015.

Mark and his three friends are at apple bees.their bill totaled $52.35.if they left the server 20% tip,how much would each perso
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Each would pay $20.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the total for the bill including the tip.

 The bill is $52.35.  To calculate 20% of this, multiply by 0.2  (or 20/100)

  The tip is ($52.35)(0.2) = $10.47

Step 2:  Add the tip to the total bill.

   $52.35 + $10.47 = $62.82

Step 3:  Divide the total bill by the number of people splitting the bill, in this case, 3

     $62.82/3 = $20.94  per person
