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 answer would be 0 solutions.

Here, we see <em>|</em><em />x+6<em>|</em><em /> = 2.
Oh wow! A foreign object!
|x+6|... two lines... what is that?

That is called absolute value. Whatever is inside the two lines, must have a positive answer!

Let's pretend we have a machine that has this absolute value function activated.
What we put in, we must get a positive answer out.

Let's put in -6.

-6 ==> BEEP BEEP ==> 6

Let's try 3.

3 ==> BEEP BEEP ==>3

Whatever we put in, if it is negative or positive, what comes out is always positive.  

So, for how many values <em>x</em> is |x+6|=-2 true?

None, because the answer <em>must</em><em /> be positive! 
-2 is not positive, <em>2</em><em /> is.

Which relation is a function?<br> Question 3 options:
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

A function is a relation in which each input has only one output. In the relation , y is a function of x, because for each input x (1, 2, 3, or 0), there is only one output y. x is not a function of y, because the input y = 3 has multiple outputs: x = 1 and x = 2.

I hope it's helpful!
