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%

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't really clear. Let me help you rephrase it and solve.

Let's say Cesar is creating a schedule to practice his instrument for band. He needs to practice for a total of 10 hours in a week. On Monday he practice for 1 1/2 hours, on Tuesday he practiced for 2 1/4 hours, and on Wednesday he practiced for 1 1/2 hours.

The total hours that Cesar has used in practicing will be:

= 1 1/2 + 2 1/4 + 1 1/2

= 5 1/4

To get the number of hours that Cesar need to practice during the rest of the week in order to have his 10 total hours, we subtract 5 1/4 hours from 10 hours. This will be:

= 10 - 5 1/4

= 4 3/4 hours.

Cesar needs to practice for 4 3/4 hours more.

There are 950 students at Hanover High School. The ratio of the number of freshmen to all students is 3:10. The ratio of the num
-Dominant- [34]

Hi there! Since the ratios of students at Hanover High School are in different scales, we need to scale them up! First, let's take the ratio 1:2. This can be scaled up to 5:10. Now, combine the two ratios to find the ratio of freshmen to sophomores. 3:10 + 5:10 = 8:10. The remaining number is 2, since 8 + 2 = 10, so the ratio of freshmen to sophomores is 2:10!

Hope this was helpful!

In somalia, city b is 75 kilometers due north of city
nadya68 [22]
We first approach this problem by forming a diagram. Refer to the attachment.

You might notice a right triangle forming when you connect cities A, B, and C. In this case, we'll just need the Pythagorean theorem when solving for the distance between city B and city A.

AB^{2}=BC^{2}  + AC^{2}= 75^{2}  + 42^{2} =7389
AB=85.96

ANSWER: The distance between city B and city A is 85.96 kilometers.
