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.

Art [367]

Answer:

<h2>Kelly is wrong, with this congruent parts, we can conclude that triangles are congruent.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To demonstrate congruent triangles, we need to use the proper postulates. There are at least 5 postulates we can use.

  • Angle-Angle-Side Theorem (AAS theorem).
  • Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem (HL theorem).
  • Side-Side-Side Postulate (SSS postulate).
  • Angle-Side-Angle Postulate (ASA postulate).
  • Side-Angle-Side Postulate (SAS postulate).

In this case, Kelly SAS postulate, because the corresponding sides-angles-sides are congruent, i.e., KL ≅ MN and LM ≅ KN, also, all corresponding angles are congruent.

So, as you can see, only using SAS postulate, the congruency can be demonstrated. (Refer to the image attached to see an example of SAS postulate)

If f[6} = x ^ -2x , find: f [6} =
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

1/ 6^12

Step-by-step explanation:

f[x} = x ^ (-2x)

f(6) = 6 ^ (-2*6)

      = 6 ^ -12

   We know the negative exponent moves it to the denominator

     = 1/ 6^12
