It is commonly assumed that babies are equally likely to come as either a boy or a girl. This is not true. Actually, about 51.3%

of all babies are boys. If a family has two children (not twins), what is the chance both children are boys

Answer: 0.263169

Step-by-step explanation:

Since for every child there is two outcomes (either a boy or a girl), so it is a binomial distribution.

Let x = Number of boys

Given: probability that a child is a boy: p= 0.513

Binomial distribution formula : P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Now, the probability that  both children are boys= P(X=2)=^2C_2(0.513)^2(1-0.513)^0

=(1)(0.513)^2(1)\\\\=0.263169

The chance both children are boys = 0.263169

Janet reads 1/8 of her book on Monday.She reads another 2/8 of the book on Tuesday. How much of the book remain unread?
xxTIMURxx [149]
So just add 1/8 and 2/8. add 1 plus 2 and the denominator (bottom number) stays the same so you get 3/8 then subtract 8/8 minus 3/8 so just 8 minus 3 is 5 and the denominator stays the same so you end up with 5/8 so 5/8 of the book remains unread

Find the measure of a
barxatty [35]

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines is useful here.

  a^2 = 8^2 +11^2 -2·8·11·cos(32.2°) ≈ 36.070003

  a ≈ √36.070003 ≈ 6.00583

  a ≈ 6
