Step-by-step explanation:
The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.
Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.
What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.
Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.
For each trial, we get for each child, C:
C1: X + (X or Y)
C2: X + (X or Y)
C3: X + (X or Y)
C4: X + (X or Y)
C5: X + (X or Y)
Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.
Answer:
K 20
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 7x2 - 4x
f (2) = 7 (2)^2 - 4(2)
= 28 - 8
= 20
Since they replaced the x inside f(x) with 2, just do that the same to the right side, change all x into 2
4 for part A
17 for part B
A: 1:1 unless they want you to count both arms then it would be B: 2:2
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways the answer to this question can be determined
<u><em>Method 1 : the fast method </em></u>
We know that 8 is twice 4
4 x 2 = 8
The ratio of diet soda = 8
the ratio of regular sodas = 4
Diet sodas = 112
the number of regular sodas = 112 / 2 = 56
<u><em>Method 2 : The long method </em></u>
I would first determine the total number of diet and regular sodas. Let the total number be represented by d
from the question, the following equation can be derived :
(8/12) x d = 112
divide both sides of the equation by 12/8 to determine the value of d
d = 112 x (12/8) = 168
We can now derive a value for the number of regular soda
regular sodas = ( ratio of regular sodas / total soda) x total number of sodas
(4/12) x 168 = 56
