Answer:

Probability of having at least 4 Girls

= 0.6875

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of having at least 4 Girls is 1-probability of having exactly 3 girls

Total number of children= 5 = N

Probability of having a girl p = 0.5

Probability of not having a girl q= 0.5

X= 3

Probability of at least 4 girls is given by

Probability= NCX(p)^x(q)^(N-x)

Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^(5-3)

Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^2

Probability= 5!/3!2!(0.5)^3(0.5)^2

Probability= 10(0.125)(0.25)

Probability= 0.3125

Probability of having at least 4 Girls

= 1- 0.3125

= 0.6875

An antelope can run a speed of 61 miles per hour. What is this speed in yards per second? Round to the nearest hundredth

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

= 29.82 yards/second

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed is given in the problem. We just need to convert its units. The multiplicative identity (that is, 1) may be used to change the units without changing the value. (note: do you know what the additive identity is?)

61 miles per hour

(61 miles) / (1 hour)

(61 miles)/(1 hour)*1

((61 miles)/(1 hour))*((5280 feet)/(1 mile))

((61 miles)/(1 hour))*((5280 feet)/(1 mile))*((1 yard)/(3 feet))*((1 hour)/(60 minutes))*((1 minute)/(60 seconds))

note: miles, feet, hours, minutes cancel out; leaving yards per second

(61/1)*(5280/1)*(1/3)*(1/60)*(1/60) yards/second (note: I write that way to paste into Excel)

Raven makes lanyards to sell at the craft fair. Each lanyard requires 1.5 feet of. At the fabric store, fabric is sold by foot.

hoa [83]

That was said oddly. From what I understand, she would need to buy 64 feet of fabric.

Find the exact circumference of a circle with the given radius. 5 inches C = 2.5 in. 10 in. 25 in.

notsponge [240]

If the given radius is 5 inches, then the circumference, C is 2pi r, or 2pi(5 inches) = 10pi inches. You MUST include pi in your calculation of C.

A recursive rule for an arithmetic sequence is a1=4;an=an−1−3 . What is the explicit rule for this sequence? Enter your answer i

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1+(n-1)d$ ......[1]

where,

$a_1$ is the first term

n is the number of terms and

d is the common difference for two consecutive terms.

As per the statement:

A recursive rule for an arithmetic sequence is:

$a_1 = 4$

$a_n = a_{n-1}-3$

The recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_{n-1}+d$

then;

On comparing we get;

d = -3

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

$a_n = 4+(n-1)(-3)$

⇒ $a_n = 4 -3n+3 = 7-3n$

Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is, $a_n = 7 -3n$
