Answer 1

Answer:

0.4 , 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of boys be = b , number of girls = b + 4 . As total students = 20    b + b + 4 = 20  → 2b + 4 = 20 → 2b = 20 - 4 = 16 → b = 16 / 2 = 8 (boys) , so girls = 12

Prob (a random first child is a boy) = boys / total students = 8 c 1 / 20 c1, or =  8  / 20  = 0.4

Prob ( a 'Tina' out of two Tina is the last) = 2 c 1 / 20 c 1 , or = 2 / 20 = 0.1
