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 function f(x)=2x−5 is a linear function. Let g(x) represent f(x) after a horizontal translation 3 units to the right.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

the equation of g(x) is, g(x) = 2x-11  

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation of the function is defined as:

g(x)=f(x+b)

where, b represents the horizontal shift.

if b> 0 then, the function f(x) shifts b units left and if b< 0 ; then the function shifts b units right  

As per the statement:

The function f(x)=2x−5 is a linear function.

It is given that:

g(x) represent f(x) after a horizontal translation 3 units to the right.

⇒g(x) =f(x-3)

then

g(x) = 2(x-3)-5

⇒g(x) = 2x-6-5

⇒g(x) = 2x-11

Therefore, the equation of g(x) is, g(x) = 2x-11
