Answer:

a)Let X be number of children

X=1,2,3

P(X=1)= 0.47

P(X=2) = 0.2491

P(X=3) = 0.942923

b) 3.7970

c) 1.6232

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A couple plans to have children until they get a​ girl, but they agree they will not have more than three​ children, even if all are boys. Assume that the probability of having a girl is 47.00​%. ​

a) Create a probability model for the number of children​ they'll have.

X=1,2,3

​P(X=1)=??

P(X=2)= ??

P(X=30=???

​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed

​b) Find the expected number of children.

E(X)= ???

​c) Find the expected number of boys​ they'll have.

Expected number of boys= ???

Solution:

Probability of a girl= 0.47

Probability of a boy= 0.53

a) P(X=1)= 0.47

P(X=2) = 0.47× 0.53= 0.2491

P(X=3)= 0.47× 0.53× 0.53 + 0.53× 0.53× 0.53

             = 0.942923

b) E(number of children)= 1× P(X=1) + 2 ×P(X=2) + 3 × (PX=3)

                                       = 3.796969

c) Y: number of boys

P(Y=1)= 0.53×0.47= 0.2491

P(Y=2) = 0.53×0.53×0.47=0.46375

P(Y=3)= 0.53× 0.53× 0.53= 0.148875

E(Y)= P(Y=1)×1 + P(Y=2)×2 + P(Y=3)×3

       = 0.148875×3 +0.46375×2+0.2491 ×1

      = 1.6232

Write the quadratic equation that has roots -1-rt2/3 and -1+rt2/3 if its coefficient with x^2 is equal to 1
weeeeeb [17]

The equation of the quadratic function is f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

<h3>How to determine the quadratic equation?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Roots = (-1 - √2)/3 and (-1 + √2)/3

The quadratic equation is then calculated as

f(x) = The products of (x - roots)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

f(x) = (x - \frac{-1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(x - \frac{-1+\sqrt{2}}{3})

This gives

f(x) = (x + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})(x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})

Evaluate the products

f(x) = (x^2 + \frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3}x + \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3}x + (\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{3})(\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{3})

Evaluate the like terms

f(x) = x^2 + \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{9}

So, we have

f(x) = x²+ 2/3x - 1/9

Determine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 2).
fomenos

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines: Their gradients are reciprocals.

This means:

  • -1 ÷ Gradient 1 = Gradient 2
  • Gradient 1 * Gradient 2 = -1

Gradient of the given equation is 3.

-1 / 3 = -1/3

Gradient of the equation we're finding is -1/3

y = -1/3x + c

Substitute the coordinates in to find the value of c

2 = -1/3(6) + c

2 = -2 + c

2 + 2 = c

4 = c

y = -1/3x + 4
