Answer:

mean = 2.55

Standard deviation = 1.118

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of babies who are boys

P = 0.51

Then we have q = 1-p

= 1-0.51

= 0.49

We have n = 5

We calculate the mean as:

np

= 0.51x5

= 2.55

Therefore mean = 2.55

The standard deviation

= √variance

= √npq

= √0.51x5x0.49

=√1.2495

= 1.118

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).
QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}

Using the section formula expressed as

[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

In this case,

\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, by substitution, we have

\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is

Function for g whose graph is similar to f(x)=3x^2 shifted right 6 units and upward 5 units
vladimir2022 [97]

f(x) = 3 {x}^{2}

function g has to be the transformation of function f. Therefore,

g(x) = 3 {(x - 6)}^{2}  + 5

is the answer.

What is the probability that a five-card poker hand contains a flush (including straight and royal flushes), that is, five cards
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

3.924×10∧-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Royal flush contains five cards and it's probability is 0.3924%≈0.003924

Straight contain five cards and it's probability is 0.0001%≈0.000001

The probability including straight and royal flushes will be 0.003924×0.000001≈3.924×10∧-9
