Question

Reese is using a coin to predict the gender of the puppies born to her dog. According to Reese's model, which is the probability that a litter of 5 puppies will be all males? StartFraction 1 over 32 EndFraction StartFraction 1 over 16 EndFraction StartFraction 1 over 10 EndFraction One-half

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Reese's model, let the head of the coin represent male, and the tail represents female. The outcome can either be a male or a female.

Total outcome = 2

pr(male) = $\frac{1}{2}$

pr(female) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the probability of male equals the probability of females i.e $\frac{1}{2}$.

Therefore,

pr(a litter of 5 puppies will be males) = $\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{1}{2}$ x $\frac{1}{2}$

                                                           = $\frac{1}{32}$

According to Reese's model, the probability that a litter of 5 puppies will be males is $\frac{1}{32}$.
