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:
V = 4 2/3 units ^3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the area of the back rectangle
V = BH where B is the area of the base
V = 3 1/3 * 1 2/5
Rewriting the mixed numbers as improper fractions
V = 10/3 * 7/5
V = 70/15
Simplifying
V = 14/3
Changing back to a mixed number
V = 4 2/3 units ^3
Are you sure it’s a scalene triangle because if you only know one side and all the other sides are different lengths then it’s impossible to computer unless we know angle measures. It would have to be isoceles or we would need angle measures
It represents the first one 3+(-1)
