Answer:

33.3% probability that both children are girls, if we know that the family has at least one daughter named Ann.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The family has two children.

The sample space, that is, the genders of the children may be divided in the following way, in which b means boy and g means girl.

b - b

b - g

g - b

g - g

We know that they have at least one girl. So the sample space is:

b - g

g - b

g - g

What is the probability that both children are girls, if we know that the family has at least one daughter named Ann?

Desired outcomes:

Both children being girls, so

g - g

1 desired outcome

Total outcomes

b - g

g - b

g - g

3 total outcomes

Probability

1/3 = 0.333

33.3% probability that both children are girls, if we know that the family has at least one daughter named Ann.

Since the number of members attending is 40, you can eliminate 17 as a possible answer, as it is smaller than 40. You can also eliminate 240 because 40 members is 60%, so the answer must be less than 80. You are now left with 67 and 73. 

It is (a) because 40 divided by 67 = 0.597. 0.597 x 100 = 59.7% which is rounded to 60% of the club

Answer:

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

(2y-3)*2=4y-6

You multiply by two because there are two sides that are considered the length

y+1*2=2y+2

Same thing here

4y-6+2y+2=32

6y-4=32

+4. +4

6y=36
