Answer:  The required probability of having 6th girl is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that boys and girls are equally likely.

We are to find the probability of a couple having a baby girl when their sixth child is​ born, given that the first five children were all girls.

Since the events of having a boy and a girl are independent of each other, so

the probability of having 6th girl dose not depend on the birth of the first five girls.

We know that there are only two possible cases (either a boy or girl will born).

So, sample space, S = {G, B}  and the event E of having a girl is, E = {G}.

That is, n(S) = 2 and n(E) = 1.

Therefore, the probability of event E is given by

P(E)=\dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5.

Thus, the required probability of having 6th girl is 0.5.

volume of the box is 675 cubic inches

A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of plastic.

It is a square sheet so length and width are same

Lets assume length as x so width is also x

The machine cuts equal-sized squares measuring 3 inches on a side from each corner of the sheet.

After turning up the sides the height of the box becomes 3 inches

We know the volume of a box formula

Volume = Length * width * height

We know length is  x , width is x  and height = 3

So V = x * x * 3

Given volume = 675 cubic inches

675 = x * x * 3

675 = x^2* 3

Divide by 3 on both sides

225 = x^2

Now we take square root on both sides

x = 15

the length of one side of the open box is 15 inches.

The rubber playground mulch is sold in packages that cover 300 square feet each. what expression represents the number of packag
tino4ka555 [31]

The expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends is 600/x

<h3>How to determine the expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Area covered = 300 square feet

Number of ends  = 2

So, the total surface area is:

Total surface area = Area covered * Number of ends  

This gives

Total surface area = 300 * 2

Total surface area = 600 square feet

Let the area covered by each package of mulch be x.

So, the number of mulch is

Number = Area covered/area covered by each

This gives

Number = 600/x

Hence, the expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends is 600/x

Mona's math certificate is 10 inches tall and 14 inches wide. Mona wants to put the certificate in a fancy frame that costs $1.0
swat32

Answer:

$48.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 10inches

Width=14 inches

Let us find the perimeter of the  certificate

P=2L+2W

P= 2*10+2*14

P=20+28

P= 48 inches

Hence if 1 inche cost $1.02

Then 48 inches will cost x

cross multiply we

x= 48*1.02

x= $48.96

Hence it will cost $48.96 to frame the certificate
