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%

Try to prove the hypothesis from part B that the sum of a rational and an irrational number is an irrational number.
Maurinko [17]

The next step of your proof is to subtract (a/b) from both sides.

Then you get, x = (m/n) - (a/b)

Since rationals are closed over addition, (m/n) + (-a/b) is a rational number.

Therefore, x (an irrational number) = a rational number                            <em>This is a false statement which is a contradiction. So, the assumption was incorrect.</em>

Thus, the sum of a rational and irrational number is an irrational number. QED
