There are two choices for each child: overweight (o) or underweight (u). So if the first child is o the next can be o or u. If the first is u the second can be o or u. This gives four possibilities. Here the first child is the letter noted first and the second is the one listed second:
OO
OU
UO
UU
There are 4 outcomes and if each is equally likely then the probability of each is 1/4. Thus the probability of UU is 1/4
The probability of one underweight and one over weight is 1/2 because in two of the outcomes listed above there is one O and one U (namely OU and UO). Since there are 4 outcomes the probability is 2/4 = 1/2
Answer:
3<x<5
Step-by-step explanation:
5<2x-1<9
Add 1 on all the sides because of the inverse operation.
Which is 6<2x<10
The divide 2 on all sides to isolate x.
Which is 3<x<5.
Answer: power of a power
Step-by-step explanation:
in the expression (x^4)^9, 4 and 9 are powers. 9 is the power of x^4, so you have to multiply 4 by 9 to get x^36. this means it's a power of a power
