Answer:
c. (x +3)(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring an equation is a way of expressing an equation as the product of other linear expressions. The following expression,

Can be represented as the product of the following,

To check this, one can distribute, one of the expressions over the other, then simplify, the result should be the starting expression,

Distribute,

Simplify,


binomial(16 + 7, 16) 2^(-(16 + 7)) = ((16 + 7)!)/(16! 7! 2^(16 + 7)) = 245157/8388608 ≈ 0.02922 ≈ 1/34.22
(assuming children are independent and male and female are equally likely)
| probability
less than 16 boys | 0.9534
16 or less boys | 0.9827
more than 16 boys | 0.01734
16 or more boys | 0.04657
fraction of boys | 16/(16 + 7) ≈ 0.695652
fraction of girls | 7/(16 + 7) ≈ 0.304348
expected value | 11.5
standard deviation | 2.398
variance | 5.75
