Answer:

a.\ Probability = 0.426

b.\ Probability = 0.574

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Families = 1000

Number of Girls :      0 ---->  1 -----> 2   ------->3

Number of Families: 112 -> 314 --> 382 ---> 192

Solving (a): At most one girl

From the table, the number of families with at most one girl is: 112 + 314

i.e.

Number of Girls :      0 ---->  1

Number of Families: 112 -> 314

So, we have:

At\ Most\ One\ Girl = 112 + 314

At\ Most\ One\ Girl = 426

The probability is then calculated as:

Probability = \frac{At\ Most\ One\ Girl}{Total}

Probability = \frac{426}{1000}

Probability = 0.426

Solving (b): More girls

From the table, the number of families with more girl is: 382 + 192

i.e.

Number of Girls :      -----> 2   ------->3

Number of Families: --> 382 ---> 192

So, we have:

More\ Girls = 382 + 192

More\ Girls = 574

The probability is then calculated as:

Probability = \frac{More\ Girls}{Total}

Probability = \frac{574}{1000}

Probability = 0.574

If the area of a park is exactly halfway between 2.4 and 2.5 acres what is the area of the park
Paul [167]
Get the distance between two acres.

2.5 - 2.4 = 0.1

Divide the diffence by 2
0.1 / 2 = 0.05 - Halfway between them.

Therefore, 0.05 must be taken from 2.5 acres. it must be added to 2.4 acres to get the exact area of the park.

2.5 - 0.05 = 2.45
2.4 + 0.04 = 2.45 acres

OR

Simply get the average of the two to get the area since it is exactly halfway between the two acres of land.

2.5 + 2.4 = 2.9 / 2 = 2.45 acres
