Answer: or
Step-by-step explanation:
We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:
Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:
We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.
Then:
or
Answer:
0.9375 = 93.75% probability that at least one of the four children is a girl.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
We have the following sample space
In which b means boy, g means girl
b - b - b - b
b - b - b - g
b - b - g - b
b - b - g - g
b - g - b - b
b - g - b - g
b - g - g - b
b - g - g - g
g - b - b - b
g - b - b - g
g - b - g - b
g - b - g - g
g - g - b - b
g - g - b - g
g - g - g - b
g - g - g - g
Total outcomes
There are 16 total outcomes(size of the sample space)
Desired outcomes
Of these outcomes, only 1(b - b - b - b) there is not a girl.
So the number of desired outcomes is 15.
Probability:
0.9375 = 93.75% probability that at least one of the four children is a girl.
