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

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = 2x when f(x) is replaced with f(0.5x)? A) vertical stretching B) vertical
PtichkaEL [24]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option: D

Horizontal stretching.

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

We have to find the effect on the graph of the function f(x)=2x when it is replaced by f(0.5 x).

We know that when a parent function f(x) is replaced by f(kx) then either the graph is stretched horizontally or shrinked horizontally.

if k>1 then the graph is shrinked horizontally.

if k<1 then the graph is stretched horizontally.

Hence here k=0.5<1 so the graph of the function is stretched horizontally.

The slant height is used to find the volume of a square pyramid. true or false
alexandr1967 [171]
The answer is false.

For a square pyramid, the volume is calculated by 1/3*B*h. The height should touch the tip and lie perpendicular to the base. Slant height is used for surface area, not volume.
