Answer:

<h3> 25%</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Abba grew 1 foot over the past year. He is now 5 feet tall. What was Abba's percent increase in height?

Step one:

given data

We are told that Abba grew 1 foot in the past year, and now he is 5 feet tall, this means that his previous height is 4 feet.

Step two:

We want to find the percent increase

%increase = change in height/ previous height *100

%increase =5-4/4*100

%increase = 1/41*100

%increase =0.25*100

%increase = 25%

artcher [175]

U fill the tank at 1:45 a.m......then u wait 1 1/2 hrs....

1:45 + 1 hr = 2:45.....2:45 + 30 minutes (because 1/2 hr = 30 minutes) =

Assuming boys and girls are equally likely, find the probability of a couple having a baby girl when their sixth child is born

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: The required probability of having 6th girl is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that boys and girls are equally likely.

We are to find the probability of a couple having a baby girl when their sixth child is born, given that the first five children were all girls.

Since the events of having a boy and a girl are independent of each other, so

the probability of having 6th girl dose not depend on the birth of the first five girls.

We know that there are only two possible cases (either a boy or girl will born).

So, sample space, S = {G, B} and the event E of having a girl is, E = {G}.

That is, n(S) = 2 and n(E) = 1.

Therefore, the probability of event E is given by

$P(E)=\dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5.$

Thus, the required probability of having 6th girl is 0.5.
