Answer:
The probability that at least one of the children get the disease from their mother is 0.7125.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a human gene carries a certain disease from the mother to the child with a probability rate of 34%.
Suppose a female carrier of the gene has three children. Assume that the infections of the three children are independent of one another.
Let Probability that children get the disease from their mother = P(A) = 0.34
SO, Complement of the event "At least one of the children get the disease from their mother"= P(A') = 1 - P(A)
where A' = event that children do not get the disease from mother.
So, P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.34 = 0.66
Now, probability that at least one of the children get the disease from their mother = 1 - Probability that none of the three children get disease from their mother
= 1 - P(X = 0)
= 1 - (0.66 0.66
0.66)
= 1 - 0.2875 = <u>0.7125</u>
As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract. The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing. Just like adding fractions or combining like terms. Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside. In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: 
. The numbers subtract to give you -9. Therefore, the simplification is
