Answer:

1.75,0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a couple plans to have children until they get a girl, but they agree that they will not have more than three children even if all are boys.

a) The couples can have

X     I girl         I boy, II  girl             I,II boys, III girl         I,II,III boys

Pr.    0.5               0.25                           0.125                  0.125

b) Expected no of children

=1(0.5)+2(0.25)+3(0.125)+3(0.125)\\=1+0.75\\=1.750

c)Expected number of boys

= 0*0.5+1*0.25+2*0.125+3*0.125\\=0.625

100 POINTS PLZ HELPPP Drag each tile to the correct box. Arrange the expressions in increasing order of their estimated values.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

<h3>\frac{\sqrt{24}- \sqrt{54} }{\sqrt{6}} = -1   </h3><h3>\sqrt{\frac{9}{20}*\frac{10\sqrt{2} }{3\sqrt{5} } = 1.4142</h3><h3>\frac{10\pi\sqrt{2}-8\pi\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}}  = π =3.14159</h3><h3>\pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}\cdot\pi\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}} = π² = 9.8696</h3>

Explanation:

1.) Rewrite √24 = \sqrt{4*6} = 2\sqrt{6}   Rewrite √54 =\sqrt{9*6}= 3\sqrt{6}

Divide both terms by the denominator; √6 cancels. 2-3 = -1

2.) Rewrite as \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} ×\frac{10\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt{5}}  The 3's cancel.  10/2 = 5√2 in the numerator.

√5 × √5 = 5 in the denominator.  The 5's cancel.

That leaves √2 ≈1.4142

3.) Divide the terms in the numerator by the term in the denominator.

√2's cancel.  10π/2 = 5π   8π/2 = 4π  

Subtract and we are left with π = 3.14159

4.) \pi\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}\cdot\pi\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}  The square roots are reciprocals. They multiply to 1

We are left with π × π = π² ≈  9.8696

Which is a complete list of factors of each term in the expression
vaieri [72.5K]

A factor is one part of a product.

In the given expression first we separate the terms.

here we have two terms: 15 and 20x

factors of first term 15 : since just one number is there so factors of 15 would be 1, 3, 5 and 15

factors of second term 20x: product of 20 and x gives 20x, so factors of 20x are 1,2,4,5, 10,20 and x
