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

Answer:

#1.---60%   #2.---$12.60 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

#1. Since It was originally $50 you have 50% already, so what I did was I multiplied 50 by 2. this got me 100 which is a simpler way to calculate by. 50 to 80 dollars is a $30 change, so multiply that by 2 and you get 60. 60 will be your percent of change. You can double check this by multiplying 50 by .60, the answer will be 30 and 50+30=80

#2 Since Tyler starts off with $12 per hour with a 5% increase you will need to multiply 12*.05 this will get you the answer of 0.6 you then need to add $12, since that was his original payment. 12+0.6=12.60, so his final payment would by $12.60 per hour

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

length=1 m

base of triangle=10 m

height=5m

volume= 1/2×10×5×1=25 m cube.

slant height l=√(5²+5²)=√50=5√2

slant surface area=2[5√2×1]=10√2

area of front and back=2×1/2(10×5)=50

total surface area=50+10√2≈50+14.14≈64.14 m²

19. Subtract: 5 - 3 1/3 <br><br> A. 3 1/3<br> B. 2 1/3<br> C. 1 2/3<br> D. 2 2/3
earnstyle [38]
Answer:

C. 1 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3 1/3

We can also convert 5 into a fraction with the same denominator like this:

Since we’re trying to make 5 a fraction with a denominator of 3, leave 4 as the whole number and 3/3 as the fraction

4 3/3

4 3/3 = 5 because 3/3 = 1 and 4 + 1 = 5

Now we can subtract!

4 3/3 - 3 1/3 = 1 2/3

Step 1. Subtract the whole numbers

Step 2. Subtract the numerator

Step 3. Leave the answer with the same denominator
