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

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Well, let's assume that "cups" = 3 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 3x36.

If for some reason this is incorrect, try 2 cups instead of 3. Both are reasonable measurements when it comes to baking.

Solve the equation, keeping the value for x as an improper fraction. 23x = − 12x + 5 1.Isolate the variable by adding 12x to bot

kogti [31]

Answer:

$x=\frac{30}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $\frac{2}{3}x=-\frac{1}{2}x+5$ . We are asked to solve our given equation.

First of all, we will add $\frac{1}{2}x$ on both sides of equation to separate x variable on one side of equation.

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}x+5$

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}x=5$

Now, we will make a common denominator.

$\frac{2*2}{3*2}x+\frac{1*3}{2*3}x=5$

$\frac{4}{6}x+\frac{3}{6}x=5$

Add numerators:

$\frac{4+3}{6}x=5$

$\frac{7}{6}x=5$

Upon multiply both sides of our equation by $\frac{6}{7}$ , we will get:

$\frac{6}{7}*\frac{7}{6}x=5*\frac{6}{7}$

$x=\frac{5*6}{7}$

$x=\frac{30}{7}$

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is $x=\frac{30}{7}$ .

A square poster has a side length of 26 in. Drawn on the poster are four identical triangles. Each triangle has a base of 8 in.

Firdavs [7]

To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.

Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.

A = 1/2bh
1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)

A = bh
26 x 26
A = 676 square inches

128/676 = 0.189

There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.
