Answer:

x = 0, 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero-product property states that if the product of a and b is zero, then either a = 0, b = 0, or both terms equal zero

Here our a term is -x and our b term is (5x - 4)
Setting each term equal to zero and solving for x we get
-x = 0 → x = 0
5x - 4 = 0 → 5x = 4 → x = 4/5

Factor by grouping:

The idea is to group up the terms into two groups, factor each group and then factor out the overall GCF

2x - 18 + xy - 9y
(2x - 18) + (xy - 9y)
2(x - 9) + (xy - 9y)
2(x - 9) + y(x - 9)
(2 + y)(x - 9)
(x - 9)(2 + y)

Solution :

Given :

X = the number of boys in a family of four children

Families having four children are chosen randomly.

The gender distribution in the four child family are equally probable.

Thus,

X P(X) CDF

0 $^4C_0 (1/2)^{4}$ = 1/16 $\frac{1}{16}$

1 $^4C_1 (1/2)^{4}$ = 1/4 $\frac{5}{16}$

2 $^4C_2 (1/2)^{4}$ = 3/8 $\frac{11}{16}$

3 $^4C_3 (1/2)^{4}$ = 1/4 $\frac{15}{16}$

4 $^4C_4 (1/2)^{4}$ = 1/16 1
