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.

Factor the expression completely I’ve the complex numbers X^4+10x^2+25
Elza [17]

We have

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

so that with a = x² and b = 5, we have

x⁴ + 10x² + 25 = (x² + 5)²

Next, we have

a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)

so that with a = x and b = √5 i,

x² + 5 = x² - (-5) = (x - √5 i) (x + √5 i)

So, the complete factorization over the complexes is

(x - √5 i)² (x + √5 i)²

Two trains are traveling at a constant rate. Which train has the greater speed?
natali 33 [55]
A point on the graph (for train b) that is exact is (2,250). From the origin, the rise is 250 and the run is 2. Rise/run would give us 250/2, which is 125. This means that train B travels 125mi every hour. For train A, we subtract the distance from hour 2 from hour 3 to get the miles per hour (because 3-2=1, subtracting the distance of hour 3 from 2 will give us the distance in 1 hour). 180-120= 60, meaning train A travels at 60mph. 60<125, meaning A

$140 * 6 = $840 

$7280 + $840 = $8120 for Sarah's total budget she spent for 7 first class tickets and 6 coach tickets for 13 people that took the trip.  

Answer:
7 first class tickets.
6 coach tickets.

Hope this helps!
