Answer: 0.3125.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The chance of having a boy is 0.5,
- the chance of having a girl is also 0.5.
<u>Outcome 1: all boys</u>
boy boy boy boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 2: first child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
girl boy boy boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 3: second child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
boy girl boy boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 4: third child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
boy boy girl boy
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
<u>Outcome 5: fourth child is a girl, all others are boys</u>
boy boy boy girl
0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625
Therefore,
0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.0625 * 5 = 0.3125
Each ream weighs 5 lb . so, reducing 10 lb means removing 2 reams from the 12. so, how do we arrange the 10 reams so that its easy to carry?
i thinks that 3 stacks will not work as it wont be a symmetric arrangement as 1 will be left out. So, 2 stacks of 5 each would be easy to carry. but the stacks should be placed in such a way that the lengths are parallel to each other and not in-line which would increase the length making it comparatively longer. its easier to hold a (2*8.5,11,2*5=17,11,17)compact box.
