Mr. and Mrs. Doran have a genetic history such that the probability that a child being born to them with a certain trait is 85%.

If they have four children, what is the probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

the probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait is 0.287%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The probability that a child born to them have a particular trait is

P = 85% = 0.85

The probability that a child born to them will not have a particular trait is

P' = 1 - P = 1-0.85 = 0.15

The probability that exactly one of four children have the trait is:

P(1) = P × P' × P' × P'

P(1) = 0.85 × 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15

P(1) = 0.00286875

P(1) = 0.287 %

the probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait is 0.287%

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Len [333]

<u>Answer:</u>

1. $(-2^2)^{-6}$ ÷ $(2^{-5})^{-4} \implies 2^{-32}$

2. $2^4 . (2^2)^{-2} \implies 1$

3. $(-2^{-4}).(2^2)^0 \implies -2^8$

4. $(2^2).(2^3)^{-3} \implies 2^{-5}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1. $(-2^2)^{-6}$ ÷ $(2^{-5})^{-4}$ :

$= \frac{ ( - 2 ^ 2 ) ^ { - 6 } } { ( 2 ^ { - 5 } ) ^ { - 4 } } = \frac{2^{-12}}{2^{20}} = 2^{-12-20}=2^{-32}$

2. $2 ^ 4 . ( 2 ^ 2 ) ^ { - 2 }$ :

$= 2^4 \times \frac{1}{2^4} = 1$

3. $(-2^{-4}).(2^2)^0$ :

$= (-2^4)^2 \times 1 = -2^8$

4. $(2^2).(2^3)^{-3}$ :

$= 2^4 \times \frac{1}{2^9} =\frac{1}{2^5} =2^{-5}$

1. Jane saved up 20 coins, all nickels and

kompoz [17]

Answer:

10 nickels and 10 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of coins: 20

Vaiue of coins = $3.00

Required

Number of Nickels and Quarters;

<em>Let N =Nickels and Q =Quarters</em>

The total coins is represented as:

$N + Q = 20$

1 nickel is equivalent to $0.05 and 1 quarter is equivalent to $0.25; So

$0.05N + 0.25Q = 3$

Make N the subject of formula in the first equation

$N = 20 - Q$

Substitute this in the second equation

$0.05(20 - Q) + 0.25Q = 3$

$1 - 0.05Q + 0.25Q = 3$

Collect like terms

$-0.05Q + 0.25Q = 3 - 1$

$0.2Q = 2$

Multiply both sides by 5

$5 * 0.2Q = 2 * 5$

$Q = 10$

Recall that N = 20 - Q

$N = 20 - 10$

$N = 10$

How do I solve x(3x-17)=0 using the square root property

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

x = 0 or $x = \frac{17}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the quadratic equation of variable x and we have to solve the equation using the square root property.

Now, we have x(3x - 17) = 0

⇒ 3x² - 17x = 0

⇒ $3(x^{2} - \frac{17}{3}x ) = 0$

⇒ $x^{2} - 2 \times (\frac{17}{6}) \times x + (\frac{17}{6} )^{2} = (\frac{17}{6} )^{2}$

⇒ $(x - \frac{17}{6})^{2} = (\frac{17}{6} )^{2}$

Now,square rooting both sides we get,

$x - \frac{17}{6} = \pm\frac{17}{6}$

Therefore, either x = 0 or $x = \frac{17}{3}$ (Answer)
