This is a binomial experiment and you'll use the binomial probability distribution because:
- There are two choices for each birth. Either you get a girl or you get a boy. So there are two outcomes to each trial. This is where the "bi" comes from in "binomial" (bi means 2).
- Each birth is independent of any other birth. The probability of getting a girl is the same for each trial. In this case, the probability is p = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
- There are fixed number of trials. In this case, there are 5 births so n = 5 is the number of trials.
Since all of those conditions above are met, this means we have a binomial experiment.
Some textbooks may split up item #2 into two parts, but I chose to place them together since they are similar ideas.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2x - 2y
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 7x + 2y
P =a + b + c
7x + 2y = 2x + y +3x - 5y + c
7x + 2y - 5x - 4y
= 2x - 2y
-8x-2(5+4x)
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x-10-8x -8x-8x-10 -16x-10
