Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.

11 The net force on a vehicle that is accelerating at a rate of 1.5 m/s² is 2,800 newtons. What is
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Mass = 1867kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Force = 2800N

Acceleration = 1.5m/s^2

Required

Determine the mass of the vehicle

This question will be answered using Newton's second law

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Substitute values for Force and Acceleration

2800 = Mass * 1.5m/s^2

Make Mass the subject

Mass = \frac{2800N}{1.5m/s^2}

Mass = 1866.6667kg

Mass = 1867kg ---- approximated

<em>Hence, the mass of the vehicle is 1867kg</em>

How many feet long is the fence ?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

50 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of the missing side. The pythagoreon theorem only works with right triangles such as this one.

a²+b²=c²

Where a and b are length of legs (sides) of a triangle. And c is the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the side across from the right angle.

We know by looking at the image posted in the question, that one leg of the triangle is 14 feet. And another leg is 48 feet. (Length of picnic area) (length of campground)

14²+48²=c²

Simplify

196+2304=2500

Find square root of 2500

√(2500)=50

So 14²+48²=50²

The missing side is 50 feet long. The fence is 50 feet long.

Attached is another example.
