Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.
Answer:
When we are trying to square a number say x, to x²,then we multiply the number x with number of powers
here since it is x² we multiply x × x
if it is x³,then x × x × x
Answer:
The probability of getting a factor of 12 on a fair dice is 5/6 or approximately 83%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is expressed as a fraction where the denominator is the total number of outcomes and the numerator is the number of desired outcomes. In this case, the desired outcome is any factor of 12. The factors of 12 are the numbers we multiply together to get that number: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. Since a fair dice has the total outcomes of either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, then the total outcomes is 6 and the possibility that we could roll the desired outcome (factor of 12) is 5, the probability is 5 out of 6 or 5/6, which when divided is approximately 83%.
Answer:
800. Here's why:
Step-by-step explanation:
This indicats that 440 students make up 55% of the 6th grade population. We can write this as
55/440.
We also know that 'x' total students make up 100% of the 6th-grade population, so we can write this as
100/x.
55/440 must be equal to 100/x. When cross multiplied, it becomes 50x=44000. If we divided each side by 50, we'll find that x=880. Therefore, there are 800 6th graders
2.09/12 = 0.174...rounds to 17 cents per oz
3.09/20 = 0.154..rounds to 15 cents per oz
